Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (motorcycle) where an increased risk of crash is identified, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Zero Motorcycles Inc. is recalling certain 2017 S ZF6.5, S ZF13.0, DSP ZF13.0, and SR ZF13.0 motorcycles. The recall addresses a defect in the turn signal flasher unit. If a turn signal stops working, the flasher may not change its flash rate to alert the operator, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108.

Operating a motorcycle without knowing that a turn signal is not working creates an increased risk of a crash. Zero will notify owners, and dealers will test the motorcycle's flasher and replace it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on July 25, 2017.

Owners may contact Zero customer service at 1-888-841-8085 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236. Zero's number for the recall is SV-ZMC-017-369.
