Kawasaki Zg1400: Rear Brake May Fail
Recall Summary Kawasaki is recalling 1,476 ZG1400 motorcycles (1400 GTR and 1400 GTR ABS models) because road debris can get stuck between the rear brake pedal and guard, preventing the pedal from fully releasing. This can cause the rear brake to overheat, lock up, or fail completely, and on some ABS models may also affect the front brake system. The fix involves replacing the rear master cylinder rod end and removing the guard.

- Product
- Vehicles: KAWASAKI ZG1400. Units affected: 1,476
- Reason
- On eligible units of 1400 GTR and 1400GTR ABS models small stones or other road debris can become trapped between the rear brake pedal and guard and prevent the pedal from fully releasing. This can cause over heating potentially leading to rear brake damage and lock up or failure of the rear brake. On 14 GTR ABS models with K-ACT the front brake may also be affected because it is linked with rear brake operation. Remedy: The repair consists of replacing the rear master cylinder rod end and removing the guard.
