Recall 17V-436: 2017 Zero S
Zero Motorcycles Inc. recall for exterior lighting, reported to NHTSA on Jul 10, 2017, covering about 10 vehicles.
The problem
Zero Motorcycles Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain 2017 S ZF6.5, S ZF13.0, DSP ZF13.0, and SR ZF13.0 motorcycles. In the event that a turn signal stops working, the turn signal flasher may not change its flash rate to alert the operator. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
If motorcycle is operated without knowing that a turn signal is not working, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
The fix
Zero will notify owners and dealers will test the motorcycle's flasher, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on July 25, 2017. Owners may contact Zero customer service at 1-888-841-8085. Zero's number for the recall is SV-ZMC-017-369.
