The short version

Zero Motorcycles Inc. reported a problem with the disc caliper. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

On the affected motorcycles, the front caliper mounting bolts are susceptible to corrosion which could lead to their cracking and possible fracture.

WHY IT MATTERS

If a front caliper bolt fractures, the caliper may come loose and interfere with the rotation of the front wheel. This could cause the front wheel to stop suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Zero Motorcycles will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front caliper bolts, free of charge.
