Kawasaki Zx600f1: Muffler May Become Detached
Kawasaki is recalling 2,628 ZX600F1 motorcycles because welds on the muffler bracket can crack, potentially causing the muffler to detach from the exhaust pipe. A detached muffler could create a hazard that leads to an accident and injury. Dealers will inspect the welds and either add a damper or replace the muffler as needed.
