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, potentially damaging the transmission and causing the engine to lock up while riding.
The 2018 model year is affected by two additional recalls. A rear hub needle-bearing with insufficient grease can seize and lock the rear wheel without warning. Separately, an engine stall defect can cut power unexpectedly while the motorcycle is in motion. Both conditions raise the risk of a crash.
