The 2026 Kawasaki ZX-6R is under an active safety recall and has been officially classified by Kawasaki as “Unsafe to Operate.” Kawasaki has confirmed in writing that there is no approved repair procedure and no repair timeline available. The motorcycle cannot be used in any capacity, but I am required to continue making payments. This is a failure to remedy a known safety defect. I am requesting NHTSA intervention because the manufacturer cannot provide a remedy for an unsafe vehicle.
