4 recalls across 2 model years
The Kawasaki W230 has 3 recalls covering the 2025 and 2026 model years, with the most serious being a faulty battery-to-frame ground connection on 2025 models that can cause the engine to stall without warning while riding, raising the risk of a crash.
Recalls 1 and 2 describe the same underlying ground connection fault, affecting 2025 models. The unstable connection interrupts the electrical circuit, cutting engine power mid-ride with no gradual warning sign. The separate filing specifically scopes the 2025 ABS-equipped variant, but the physical failure is the same across both.
The remaining recall covers 2025 and 2026 models and involves the turn signal bulbs, which can contain internal contamination or hairline cracks that cause the bulb to fail. A front or rear turn signal that stops working leaves other road users without a clear indication of where the rider intends to turn or change lanes.
