Details

What's wrong: Zero motorcycles Inc. (zero) is recalling certain model year 2015 sr, s, ds, and fx motorcycles. The affected motorcycles have a dc-dc converter that may have insufficient output power. During high power demand, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) may not function properly.

Why it matters: If the converter power output is insufficient, during an ABS activated event, the ABS and all vehicle lights would temporarily stop functioning, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Zero has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the dc-dc converters, replacing ones of a specific type as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 16, 2016.
