NHTSA recall 12V369000
Engine And Engine Cooling · Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A.
Details
What's wrong: Engine oil may leak from the crankcase at the starter mounting point and pool on top of the crankcase. Continued use in this condition can allow oil to spill over onto the rear tire.
Why it matters: If oil spills onto the rear tire, there is an increased risk of a crash, leading to personal injury or death.
The fix: Kawasaki will notify owners, and dealers will remove the starter and seal the crankcase, free of charge. The safety recall began on August 8, 2012.
