What's wrong: Cell pouches in the battery packs may wear from contact with the holders, allowing humidity to enter the pouch and cause an electrical short within the battery.

Why it matters: An electrical short can increase the risk of a fire.

The fix: Zero motorcycles will notify owners and offer them a choice of either the repurchase of their motorcycle or a financial trade-assist towards a newer model year zero motorcycles motorcycle. The recall began on April 30, 2018.
