The 2010 Kawasaki Concours 14 has 4 recalls, the most serious being a brake hazard where small stones or debris can lodge between the brake pedal and guard, causing the rear brake to overheat, lock up, or fail entirely, with front brakes also at risk on certain models.
Three of these recalls apply only to units modified for police authority use. On those motorcycles, improperly installed police accessories can create fuel leaks, reduce braking ability, or cut electrical power to the engine. Related to that, the added police wiring harness can chafe and short out, or the draw from police accessories can blow the 30-amp main fuse, causing the engine to stall without warning.
