Kawasaki ZR1000: Brakes

Affects Kawasaki ZR1000 · 2010 — about 200 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain motorcycles, under severe riding conditions, the left front brake hose may contact the left front brake rotor (during extremely heavy application of the front brake). This could cause brake fluid to leak, creating the potential for a crash resulting in injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the front brake hose. Additionally, the front brake hose will be repositioned to prevent contact with the brake rotor.
