The 2024 Zero DS has 3 recalls, the most serious being a front brake hose that can twist and become damaged, allowing brake fluid to leak out and causing the front brake to lose pressure mid-ride.
When the front brake loses pressure, stopping distance increases significantly and the rider can lose control of the motorcycle. There is also an electrical concern: key switch signal wires that were not routed correctly can break under normal use, cutting drive power without warning while the motorcycle is in motion. A sudden loss of power on a moving motorcycle can leave the rider unable to accelerate out of a hazardous situation, raising the risk of a crash.
