Details

What's wrong: Kawasaki motors Corp., U.S.a. (kawasaki) is recalling certain model year 2016 ninja zx-10r and ninja zx-10r ABS motorcycles, models zx1000rgfal, zx1000rgfl, zx1000sgfal and zx1000sgfl, manufactured October 28, 2015, to January 18, 2016. In the affected motorcycles, the steering damper bracket mounting bolts may break due to being over tightened.

Why it matters: If the steering damper bracket mounting bolts break, the steering damper bracket would detach and could interfere with steering the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Kawasaki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering damper bracket mounting bolts, free of charge. The recall began February 29, 2016.
