The 2000 Kawasaki ZX1200 has two recalls, both carrying equal severity: engine oil can travel up the alternator wiring and drip onto the rear tire, reducing traction and raising the risk of a crash.
The second recall involves the nuts that secure the tire valve stems to the wheels, which can fail and allow a tire to lose air pressure suddenly, potentially causing loss of control.
