Aprilia Recalls
Check open Aprilia recalls by VIN. CheckMyVIN queries NHTSA's live recall API on every lookup — no stale snapshots, no signup.
How Aprilia recall lookups work
When you enter an Aprilia VIN, CheckMyVIN first decodes the vehicle (make, model, model year) against NHTSA VPIC. Those three fields are then sent to the NHTSA recallsByVehicle API, which returns every open campaign on file. Each result shows the official NHTSA campaign number (format: two-digit year, "V" for vehicle, six-digit sequence — e.g. 19V472000), the affected component, a paraphrased plain-English summary, and the dealer remedy. Aprilia dealers perform recall work at no charge regardless of who currently owns the vehicle.
Why check Aprilia recalls before buying used?
A used-car dealer is not required to complete open recalls before sale in most US states. Run the VIN before the test drive — if a recall is open, you can either ask the dealer to complete it before delivery, negotiate the price, or schedule the free fix at an Aprilia authorized dealer after purchase.

NHTSA campaign 21V502000
ENGINE
2021 Aprilia RS 660 and Tuono 660
The crankshaft connecting rods may have been improperly heat-treated and can break, causing a sudden engine stall and raising crash risk. The remedy was substantial: dealers replaced the complete engine free of charge. Piaggio's campaign reference is PA2ZZQ2107.
NHTSA campaign 16V691000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
2014-2015 Tuono V4 1000, 2016 Tuono V4 1100, 2015 Caponord 1200 ABS, 2016 Caponord Rally
The front brake master cylinder may let air into the hydraulic circuit, lengthening braking distance. Dealers replace the front master cylinder pushrod and boot assembly at no charge.

What CheckMyVIN does not do
Some recalls are VIN-specific within a model year — only certain build dates or option packages are affected. NHTSA's public API returns the campaign for the year/make/model; for the final "is my exact VIN affected" answer, Aprilia also publishes a VIN-specific lookup on their owners site, and you can search any campaign number on the NHTSA recall portal. CheckMyVIN cites every campaign by its official number so you can verify independently.
