What happened

Zero Motorcycles is recalling certain 2014 model year motorcycles (SR, S, DS, and FX models) manufactured between December 2013 and February 2014. A manufacturing defect may cause the motor rotor to contact the stator while riding, which could cause the motor to seize and lock up the rear wheel, potentially leading to a crash.

Zero will notify owners of the recall. Dealers will test the affected motorcycles' motors free of charge, and will replace any motors that fail testing at no cost to the owner. Owners of affected motorcycles should contact Zero at 1-888-786-9316 (1-888-RUN-ZERO).
