Motorcycle Recall - Kawasaki

NHTSA Campaign ID:  11V363000
Component:  Electrical System: Wiring
Manufacturer:  Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A.
Recall Date: 07/07/2011
Potential Number of Units Affected: 2560
Defect Summary:
Kawasaki is recalling certain model year 2011 Ninja ZX-10R/ZX-10R ABS (ZX1000JBF/JBFL/KBF/KBFL) motorcycles. It is possible for a portion of the wiring harness to become pinched between the rear subframe and the rear fender or between the rear subframe and the bolt holding the seat cover. This can damage the harness and wiring and result in a short between wires and the frame or within wires, which could result in the engine stopping suddenly.
Consequence Summary:
If the motorcycle stalls while being ridden, there could be a crash resulting in injury or death.
Corrective Summary:
Dealers will repair the motorcycle as necessary, and reroute the main harness; free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact Kawasaki Consumer Services Department at 1-866-802-9381.
