What this recall means for you
Certain 2017 Zero S motorcycles may have a turn signal flasher that does not change its flash rate when a turn signal stops working. Because the warning does not change, the rider may not know a turn signal is out. These motorcycles also fail to meet federal lighting requirements under FMVSS 108.
If you ride without knowing a turn signal is not working, you face a higher risk of a crash, since other drivers may not see your intended turn or lane change in time.
Zero will notify owners, and authorized dealers will test the motorcycle's turn signal flasher and replace it if necessary, free of charge. You can contact Zero customer service at 1-888-841-8085 (Zero recall number SV-ZMC-017-369), and you can check your VIN for open recalls.
