Due to a possible manufacturing defect, the motor rotor may contact the stator while riding. That could cause the motor to seize, locking up the rear wheel which could increase the risk of a crash.
Zero will notify owners, and dealers will test the motor and if it fails testing, replace it, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in April 2014.
Owners may contact Zero at 1-888-786-9316 (1-888-RUN-ZERO).
