2014 Zero SR recalls

Recall 14V-119: Engine and Engine Cooling

Reported Mar 12, 2014 · 94 vehicles affected · Zero Motorcycles Inc.

Problem: Zero Motorcycles, Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain 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.

Risk: If the rotor contacts the stator, the motor could seize, locking up the rear wheel which could increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Zero will notify owners, and dealers will test the motor and if it fails testing, replace it, free of charge. The recall began in April 11, 2014. Owners may contact Zero at 1-888-786-9316 (1-888-RUN-ZERO).

Electrical System · at 2,100 miles · reported Dec 6, 2019

I could have died. For 7 months my 2014 zero sr has been waiting on zero service. I was originally told a new battery was needed. Motorcycle would not accelerate past 50-55mph and range had fallen from 70-90 miles to less then 20 miles. Zero made excuses for months why they couldn't properly service. I spoke with an aaron several times, also zack. Zero then replaced the controller claiming it was defective and there were no problems with the battery. I finally received the sr back and in heavy traffic, the motorcycle dropped from a full charge to 18% in only 16 miles and then completely shut…
