Heads up if you own a 2026 Aprilia RSV4, RSV4 Factory, Tuono V4, or Tuono V4 1100 Factory in the US. Aprilia USA is recalling all 2026 Aprilia V4 models due to an issue that could arise within the rear taillight cluster. If this happens, the turn signals and/or rear taillight could stop working with no warning. While this wouldn't affect a rider's operation of the bike, it could definitely affect how well other road traffic sees and responds to actions that the rider takes on that bike, so it's still very much a rider safety issue.
According to Aprilia's records, this issue affects a total of 541 motorcycles, which represents 100% of the population sold in the US. The official recall report was filed with the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on September 11, 2025.
The cause of this issue stems from two of four possible wires within the light cluster not being soldered to the turn signal led circuit board. This was done on purpose, because they were not used. However, because these wires are still present and are loose, they could inadvertently cause flickering or other lighting inconsistencies as they move around. Aprilia notes that so far, nine separate warranty claims have been filed worldwide with regard to this issue.
