Zero Motorcycles is recalling 268 model year 2011 and 2012 S and DS electric motorcycles.
On the affected electric motorcycles, the front caliper mounting bolts are susceptible to corrosion which could lead to their cracking and possible fracture.
If a front caliper bolt fractures, the caliper may come loose and interfere with the rotation of the front wheel. This could cause the front wheel to stop suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash.
Zero Motorcycles will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front caliper bolts. The recall is expected to begin mid-August 2013. Owners may contact Zero Motorcycles at 1-888-841-8085.
