Details

What's wrong: On the affected motorcycles, the front caliper mounting bolts are susceptible to corrosion which could lead to their cracking and possible fracture.

Why it matters: If a front caliper bolt fractures, the caliper may come loose and interfere with the rotation of the front wheel. This could cause the front wheel to stop suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Zero motorcycles will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front caliper bolts. The recall began on August 16, 2013.
