2012 ZERO ZERO DS Recalls Canada & USA

2012 ZERO ZERO DS Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2012 Zero DS has 2 recalls, both rated at the same severity: front brake caliper bolts that can corrode and fracture, and a motor controller that can cut power without warning, either of which can cause a crash. On the brake side, the front caliper mounting bolts can crack and break due to corrosion, allowing the caliper to shift into the path of the spinning wheel and bring it to a sudden stop. On the electrical side, the motor's position signal can drift out of range over time, causing the controller to shut off and the motorcycle to lose drive power unexpectedly while riding.
