Do you own a shiny, new 2026 Piaggio Liberty 50 or 150 scooter and live in the US? If this describes you, then you should know that Piaggio Group Americas just issued a safety recall for every last one of the 2026 Libertys that have been sold so far in our market. The issue relates to a faulty capacitor inside the headlight unit on both the 50cc and 150cc versions of the Liberty, which could affect proper operation of both the headlight and even the instrument panel lighting.
If the headlight and/or instrument panel lighting on the scooter is not working properly, especially at night, this could reduce a rider's visibility on the road, and could also increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the instrument panel is affected, this could affect a rider's ability to operate their scooter safely, on top of the headlight not working properly.
