Zero Motorcycles is recalling 94 model year 2014 Zero SR motorcycles manufactured December 30, 2013, through February 20, 2014, 2014; Zero S motorcycles manufactured December 26, 2013, through February 18, 2014; Zero DS motorcycles manufactured January 24, 2013, through February 4, 2014; and 2014 Zero FX motorcycles manufactured January 14, 2014, through January 27, 2014.

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).
