Defect

Zero Motorcycles Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain 2020 SR/F and SR/S motorcycles. The front brake switch can fail from water getting into the switch.

Safety risk

An inoperable front brake switch will not illuminate the brake light when the rider applies the front brakes. Following vehicles may not realize the motorcycle is braking. Cruise control will not shut off with the application of the front brakes. Both conditions increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Zero will notify owners, and dealers will the replace the front brake switch, free of charge. The recall began November 30, 2020. Owners may contact Zero customer service at 1-888-841-8085. Zero's number for this recall is SV-ZMC-021-020.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
