5 recalls across 4 model years
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R has 5 recalls covering 2019 and 2024-2026 model years, with the most serious being a crankshaft bushing defect on 2024-2026 models where the engine can seize and stall without warning, raising the risk of a crash.
The crankshaft bushing issue on 2024-2026 models stems from over-tightened crankshaft bolts during production that can damage the bushing and cause a sudden loss of engine power while riding. An earlier repair attempt on some 2024 models did not fully resolve the problem, and those motorcycles require a second repair.
The only other recall covers 2019 models, where engine vibration can crack the horn wiring and leave the horn inoperative, removing the rider's ability to alert other road users to a hazard.
