NHTSA recall 20V307000
Electrical System, Engine And Engine Cooling · Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A.
Details
What's wrong: Kawasaki motors Corp., U.S.a. (kawasaki) is recalling certain 2019-2020 ninja zx-10r, ninja zx-10r ABS, and ninja zx-10r ABS krt edition motorcycles. The engine control unit (ECU) programming may cause the engine to backfire when the quick shift function is used under high engine load, possibly resulting in damage to the air suction valves.
Why it matters: Damaged air suction valves may allow high temperature exhaust gas to blow back through and melt surrounding parts, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Kawasaki will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the ECU and inspect the air suction valves and surrounding parts, replacing them as necessary. All repairs will be performed free of charge. This recall began June 8, 2020.
