Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. (KMC) is recalling approximately 1,150 model year 2024 Z7 Hybrid ABS and Ninja 7 Hybrid ABS motorcycles. A defect in the electronic control unit (ECU) can cause the transmission to unexpectedly shift into neutral while the rider is attempting to shift from first to second gear. Owners can have their motorcycle's software reprogrammed by an authorized dealer at no cost to resolve this issue.
An unintended shift into neutral while riding causes an immediate loss of drive power. This sudden loss of acceleration and control significantly increases the risk of a crash, especially in traffic or during maneuvers.
Dealers will reprogram the ECM software free of charge.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
