Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14: Structure
Affects Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 · 2006–2007 — about 498 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the engine mount adjusting collars may have been over-tightened at the factory, creating excessive stress on the weld(s) on the lower rear crossmember of the frame. Under certain conditions, the crossmember weld(s) can crack, allowing the rear suspension to collapse. This could result in a crash, causing personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will verify the torque of the engine mount adjusting collars and, if necessary, replace the frame.
