Zero Motorcycles Recalls 2018 Models for Incorrect Emission Label Information
Zero Motorcycles is recalling 36 units of 2018 motorcycles because the Vehicle Emission Control Information label may display the wrong model year.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 1/5 (Low).
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: This is a documentation and labeling issue where the hazard is theoretical (potential failure to recognize future safety risks) rather than an immediate physical defect, fitting the criteria for cosmetic or documentation issues.
Plain-English summary
Zero Motorcycles Inc. is recalling certain 2018 S ZF13.0, S ZF7.2, SR ZF14.4, DS ZF13.0, DSR ZF14.4, FX ZF7.2, and FXS ZF7.2 motorcycles. The recall involves 36 vehicles in total.
The Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) Label on these motorcycles may indicate the wrong model year. This error causes the vehicles to fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification." The misstated model year could prevent owners from recognizing safety risks if the motorcycles are subject to future recalls.
Zero will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect label with a corrected label free of charge. The recall was expected to begin in December 2017. Owners may contact Zero customer service at 1-888-841-8085 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
