The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the ribbed chrome accessory footpegs have a casting flaw which can cause the footpeg shaft to break off, leaving no support for the driver's foot. Footpeg breakage could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle with the potential for an accident resulting in injury or death. Correction: The dealer will replace the footpegs with the original Kawasaki footpeg.
