Kawasaki Motors U.S.A. is recalling 805 model year 2016 Ninja ZX-10R and Ninja ZX-10R ABS motorcycles, models ZX1000RGFAL, ZX1000RGFL, ZX1000SGFAL and ZX1000SGFL, manufactured October 28, 2015, to January 18, 2016.
The steering damper bracket mounting bolts may break due to being over tightened.
If the steering damper bracket mounting bolts break, the steering damper bracket would detach and could interfere with steering the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
Kawasaki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering damper bracket mounting bolts, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin February 29, 2016.
Owners may contact KMC customer service at 1-866-802-9381. Kawasaki's number for this recall is MC16-03.
