What this recall covers

The defect
Zero Motorcycles Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain 2020 SR/F and SR/S motorcycles. The front brake switch can fail from water getting into the switch.

Zero will notify owners, and dealers will the replace the front brake switch, free of charge. The recall began November 30, 2020. Owners may contact Zero customer service at 1-888-841-8085. Zero's number for this recall is SV-ZMC-021-020.
