Kawasaki recall: Structure
What is wrong
Kawasaki is recalling certain model year 2012 ex250jcf/a/al/l ninja 250, ex650ecf/l ninja 650 and kle650ccf/l versys motorcycles manufactured from september 13, 2011 through october 25, 2011. Due to engine vibration and damage during assembly, the circlips on the footpeg mounting pins can break and fall off and cause the footpeg to detach from the motorcycle.
What could happen
If the foot peg detaches, it could create a road hazard for other vehicle traffic and possibly distract the rider, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Kawasaki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger footpeg pin circlips, free of charge. The safety recall began on march 5, 2012. Owners may contact kawasaki at 1-866-802-9381.
