Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. is recalling approximately 17,792 of its 2024-2025 Ninja ZX-6R motorcycles because a metal part inside the engine, known as the crankshaft bushing, may seize. If this part fails, the motorcycle could suddenly lose power or stall while being ridden. Owners are advised that this issue requires a physical inspection of the engine's internal components and either a tightening of specific bolts or a full engine repair/replacement depending on what the technician finds. No injuries or accidents have been reported in connection with this defect.
A sudden engine stall while riding significantly increases the risk of a crash. Because the engine may lose power without warning, owners should stop riding their motorcycles immediately until the required safety repairs have been performed.
You have 2 options:
Inspection and re-torquing of crankshaft bolts.
Replacement of damaged parts or the entire engine.
