Japanese Manufacturer Kawasaki has released a series of models to be recalled for faulty rear bearings and engine oil pressure relief valves.

The report from AVDRider states that Kawasaki dealers were notified as of August 18, with over 2,380 bikes affected by the recalls.

The first of two recalls involves a total of 1,523 bikes in the model year 2020-2021, for the H2 and ZX-10 models.

Here’s a list of the models, complete with the model years:

Recall 1: Models and Years Affected

ZX1002A; 2020-2021​

ZX1002B: 2021​

ZX1002D; 2021​

ZX1002J: 2020-2021​

ZX1002L: 2021​

ZX1002M: 2021​

ZX1002N: 2021​


In a quote from the recall notice, Kawasaki states the following:

“…the components of the relief valve that adjusts the oil pressure of the engine may come off due to improper assembly. When the oil pressure warning indicator is turned on, the engine becomes poorly lubricated. In the worst case, the engine may stop (seize)”.

The second recall is a faulty rear wheel bearing and will affect 857 bikes in the model years 2018 through 2021, including the Ninja H2 SX, Ninja H2 SX SE, and Ninja H2SX SE+ models.
Here’s the list for Recall 2:

ZR1002A: 2018​

ZR1002B: 2018​

ZX1002D: 2019-2021​


Kawasaki has also released a statement on the bearing, and has commented on the following:

“On eligible units, the amount of grease applied to the needle-bearings in the rear hub housing may be insufficient due to variations in the application process. With continuous use, this could lead to bearing failure, in the worst case causing the rear wheel to lock.”
