Defective Shock Forces Kawasaki Z125 Pro Recall

Kawasaki has issued a recall for some 1,282 Z125 Pro models due to an issue with the shock absorber.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, models manufactured between February 4, 2016 and June 7, 2016 have shock absorbers that may leak oil and lose their function.

Loss of function of the shock absorbers may affect the motorcycle's handling, says the NHTSA, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Kawasaki says it will notify owners and dealers will replace the shock absorbers free of charge. Concerned owners may contact Kawasaki customer service at (866) 802-9381. Kawasaki's number for this recall is MC16-04.
