Ninja Zx-6r

Kawasaki is recalling the Ninja ZX-6R motorcycle sold in Germany because the crankcase fastening bolts may have been over-tightened, which could seize the crankshaft main bearing and cause the engine to shut down while riding. This defect creates a risk of accidents due to unexpected engine failure and unusual noises. The motorcycle does not meet required regulatory standards for two- and three-wheel vehicles.
