Structure / Frame and Members
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Kawasaki is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 Concours 14 (ZG1400 A/B/C/D) motorcycles. Due to a gap between the brake pedal and guard, small stone or debris can become trapped, creating a brake drag. This can cause the rear brake to overheat, leading to rear brake damage and lock-up or failure of the rear brakes. The front brakes may also be affected on ZG1400C models.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the brakes lock up or fail, there is an increased risk of a crash.
