The 2011 Zero S has 2 recalls, the more serious being a front brake caliper that can break free from its mounting bolts and lock up the front wheel, causing a sudden loss of control.
The second recall involves the front brake light switch, which may not activate until the brake lever is pulled a significant distance. This means the brake light can fail to come on during moderate braking, leaving other road users unaware the rider is slowing down and raising the risk of a rear-end collision.
