- Defect:
- Kawasaki is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 concours 14 (zg1400 a/b/c/d) motorcycles. due to a gap between the brake pedal and guard, small stone or debris can become trapped, creating a brake drag. this can cause the rear brake to overheat, leading to rear brake damage and lock-up or failure of the rear brakes. the front brakes may also be affected on zg1400c models.
