3 recalls across 1 model year
The Kawasaki ZX1002D has 3 recalls, all affecting the 2019 model year, with the most serious being an under-greased rear hub needle bearing that can fail and lock up the rear wheel without warning.
The remaining two recalls on 2019 models both involve the powertrain. A software gap in the engine control unit means that if a gear misengages during a shift, the system cannot suppress high engine rpm, which can damage the transmission gears, prevent further shifting, and cause the engine to lock up while riding. There is also a separate engine stall risk on these same 2019 units that can cut power unexpectedly during normal operation.
