The defect
Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. (Kawasaki) is recalling certain 2025-2026 W230 motorcycles. The turn signal light bulbs may contain foreign material or have cracks, resulting in light bulb failure.
The risk
A front or rear turn signal that does not illuminate to indicate the rider's direction of travel increases the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will replace all turn signal lights, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 7, 2026. Owners may contact Kawasaki customer service at (855) 878-4217. Kawasaki's number for this recall is MC26-08.
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.
