Problem: Zero motorcycles, inc. (zero) is recalling certain model year 2011 and 2012 s, xu, and ds motorcycles, model year 2011 mxd, and xd motorcycles and 2012 x motorcycles. the brake light switch at the front brake lever may not activate until significant brake lever travel occurs.

Risk: The brake light may not activate when a moderate amount of front brake is applied. as such, motorists traveling behind the motorcycle may not be alerted when an affected motorcycle is slowing down, which could lead to a possible crash and potential injury or death to the rider.

Fix: Zero will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front brake system brake-light switch free of charge. the safety recall began on august 3, 2012. owners may contact zero motorcycles at 1-831-438-3500.
