3 recalls across 3 model years
The Kawasaki ZX1002A has 3 recalls covering 2018–2020 model years, with the most serious being an ECU software defect on 2018–2020 models where the engine cannot suppress high RPM during a gear misengagement, allowing gears to sustain damage and potentially leaving the rider unable to shift or causing the engine to lock up.
The 2018 model year carries two additional recalls. Rear hub needle-bearings on 2018 models can lack sufficient grease, wear prematurely, and lock the rear wheel without warning, raising the risk of a crash. There is also an engine stall risk on 2018 models that can cut power unexpectedly while riding.
