Details

What's wrong: Zero motorcycles, Inc. (zero) is recalling certain model year 2012 s, ds, x, xu, and xu-lsm motorcycles. Insufficient weatherproofing may cause a short circuit of the battery management system when subjected to wet conditions, resulting in the motorcycle inadvertently losing power.

Why it matters: Sudden loss of power can lead to a crash and potential injury or death to the rider.

The fix: Zero will notify owners, and dealers will repair the motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall began on July 31, 2012.
