Zero Motorcycles Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 XU, S, DS, and model year 2013 FX motorcycles. The affected motorcycles have controller firmware that, as a result of certain system faults, may shut off power to the motor.
A sudden loss of power to the motor may increase the risk of a crash.
Zero will notify owners, and dealers will update the controller firmware, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in mid-January 2014. Owners may contact Zero at 1-888-786-9376.
I was breaking significantly (using the maximum setting for the regenerative breaking feature) and the brake light did not come on. This IS not a fault, merely a design flaw or oversight. to my knowledge it affects all of zero's models for every year. I was in motion on city streets and highways.
