Details

What's wrong: Kawasaki motors Corp., U.S.a. (kmc) is recalling certain 2017-2018 zr900ah, zr900bh and zr900bj motorcycles. The rear shock absorber tie-rod frame mount holes can become elongated if the rear shock absorber bottoms out, affecting the operation of the shock absorber.

Why it matters: If the rear shock absorber does not function properly, it can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Kmc will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tie-rod mounting hole and replace the bracket or frame depending on the extent of the elongation of the tie-rod mounting hole, free of charge. The recall began on December 4, 2017.
