Details

What's wrong: Due to engine vibration and damage during assembly, the circlips on the footpeg mounting pins can break and fall off and cause the footpeg to detach from the motorcycle.

Why it matters: If the foot peg detaches, it could create a road hazard for other vehicle traffic and possibly distract the rider, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Kawasaki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger footpeg pin circlips, free of charge. The safety recall began on March 5, 2012.
