The problem
Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. (KMC) is recalling certain 2024 ZR900C, ZR900E and ZR900N (Z900RS ABS, Z900RS CAFE ABS, and Z900RS SE ABS) motorcycles. Due to an improper manufacturing process during installation of the sidewall rubber of the tire, the front tire may blister on the inner surface. As such, these motorcycles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires-Other Than Passenger Car."
The risk
A tire with inner wall blistering can fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the front tires, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 13, 2024. Owners may contact KMC customer service at 1-866-802-9381. KMC's number for this recall is DAL491A.
