What NHTSA recorded

Zero Motorcycles Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain model year 2013 FX motorcycles manufactured January 28, 2013, through May 21, 2013; and model year 2013 XU motorcycles manufactured January 16, 2013, through May 20, 2013. A manufacturing defect with the sealant material in the battery may allow water to penetrate the battery and contact the cells.

Possible consequence

Water penetration into the battery may lead to corrosion of the cells, possibly resulting in a rapid temperature increase and off-gassing of the cells' electrolyte which may cause a burn to the rider.

Remedy

Zero will notify owners and dealers will replace the battery modules, free of charge. The recall began on June 26, 2013. Owners may contact Zero motorcycles at 1-888-786-9376.
