The 2016 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R hasn’t been available for very long, but the venerable superbike already has its first recall. Affecting 805 units, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is being recalled for faulty steering damper bracket mounting bolts, which might break due to being over-tightened.
The recall affects ZX1000RGFAL, ZX1000RGFL, ZX1000SGFAL, and ZX1000SGFL models of the 2016 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, which were manufactured between October 28, 2015 and January 18, 2016.
Since the steering damper bracket could detach and interfere with the steering of the motorcycle, thus increasing the risk of a crash, Kawasaki USA has registered a recall with the NHTSA.
To fix the issue, Kawasaki will notify affected owners, and Kawasaki dealers will replace the steering damper bracket mounting bolts, free of charge.
This recall is expected to begin on February 29th, 2016. Concerned owners may contact Kawasaki customer service at 1-866-802-9381, and reference Kawasaki’s recall number: MC16-03.
As always, the NHTSA is also available at 1-888-327-4236 and safercar.gov.
