Zero Motorcycles is recalling certain motorcycles due to a possible motor rotor problem.
According to the company, the motor rotor may contact the stator while riding due to a possible manufacturing defect.
Zero is calling back the model year 2014 Zero SR motorcycles manufactured December 30, 2013, through February 20, 2014; 2014 Zero S motorcycles manufactured December 26, 2013, through February 18, 2014; Zero DS motorcycles manufactured January 24, 2013, through February 4, 2014; and 2014 Zero FX motorcycles manufactured January 14, 2014, through January 27, 2014.
If the rotor contacts the stator, the motor could seize, locking up the rear wheel which could increase the risk of a crash, according to a statement.
Owners will be notified, and dealers will test the motor and if it fails testing, replace it, free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin in April 2014.
