Without a working tail/brake light, there is an increased risk of a crash.
The remedy
Kawasaki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tail/brake light socket, free of charge. The recall began on July 31, 2017. Owners may contact Kawasaki customer service at 1-866-802-9381.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
