Kawasaki Motorcycle Recall: Accident Risk Due to Inadequate Welding of Rear Shock
Kawasaki is recalling 155 MY 2007 KLX250S motorcycles. The top mount for the single rear shock is spot welded in position during frame manufacture, then completely welded to the frame in a subsequent operation. On a small number of frames, it appears this subsequent welding operation was not performed. The welding may become loose while the motorcycle is in motion increasing the risk of a crash. Any motorcycle found to contain this defect will be replaced by Kawasaki. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule.

Kawasaki Motorcycle Recall: Accident Risk Due to Possibility of Sidestand Dropping into the Park Position
Kawasaki is recalling 5 MY 2008 KLR650 motorcycles. The spring retaining pin on the frame may not have been completely welded in place and could fall out, allowing the sidestand to drop into the "parking" position. If this occurred while the vehicle was in motion, a crash could occur. Kawasaki will buy back these motorcycles. The recall began on June 1, 2007. All dealers/owners have been notified.

Kawasaki Motorcycle Recall: Stall Hazard and Risk of Personal Injury or Death
Kawasaki is recalling 5,906 MY 2006 VN900B6F, VN900B6FL, VN900D6F, and VN900D6FL motorcycles. These motorcycles may stall under deceleration due to an improper setting of the engine control unit (ECU). This could create the potential for a crash, resulting in injury or death. Dealers will replace the ECU with one that contains revised settings that will address the engine stalling. The recall is expected to begin on or about July 3, 2007.

Kawasaki Motorcycle Recall: Possible Fuel Tank Defect
Kawasaki is recalling 4,352 MY 2003 VN1600-A1 and VN1600-A1L motorcycles. The fuel tank is mounted to the chassis by means of tabs that are spot welded to the tank, then braised/welded around a portion of their circumference. Under certain conditions, repeated stress can crack the tank at the location of the tabs, and allow fuel to leak. Dealers will replace the fuel tanks. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. This recall was the subject of a Preliminary Evaluation, PE07-005, conducted by the Office of Defects Investigation.

Kawasaki Motorcycle Recall: Possible Fuel Leakage
Kawasaki is recalling 29,559 Ninja MY 2004 EX250F18, EX250F18L, MY 2005 EX250F19, EX250F19L, MY 2006 EX250F6F, EX250F6FL, MY 2007 EX250F7F, and EX250F7FL motorcycles. The fuel tank may have been punctured or weakened by a fairing mounting screw or manufacturing operation. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and replace the tank if necessary. The recall is expected to begin on or about January 12, 2007. This recall was the subject of a Preliminary Evaluation, PE06-044, conducted by the Office of Defects Investigation.
