The Sevcon DC to DC converter failed causing a total loss of all 12 volt power. This occurred for the second time on the expressway at 70 mph at night. It led to loss of any lighting on the vehicle, headlight, tail light, brake light, turn signals, horn and emergency flashers and ABS sensors all stopped working. It is a very serious safety concern and obviously creating a very dangerous situation. It is a know issue with the manufactured with many documented incidents and a recall for the same problem for another model year.

AFTER ABOUT 30KM RIDE FROM MY WORKPLACE TO HOME, WHILE I'M ALREADY IN THE PARKING LOT AND GOING LOW SPEED (ABOUT 10KM/H) I STARTED TO HEAR UNUSUAL KNOCKING SOUND FROM THE ELECTRIC MOTOR AREA. THEN , WHEN I TRIED TO WALK THE MOTORCYCLE REVERSE INTO MY PARKING LOT (AS I USUALLY DO ),THE REAR WHEEL GOT STUCK. BY VISUAL INSPECTION I FOUND THAT SCREW THAT HOLDS THE MOTOR PULLEY IS UNSCREWED AND PUSHING AGAINST CHASSIS , CAUSING DRIVETRAIN TO STUCK. AFTER THAT I MANUALLY PUSHED THE MOTORCYCLE FORWARD AND THE SEIZING RELEASED. BUT , AFTER ALL THE MOTOR DOESN'T SPINNING NOW AT ALL , JUST MAKING WEIRD SOUND . NOW MY MOTORCYCLE IS COMPLETELY OUT OF ORDER AND NO DRIVABLE. AND THE ABSOLUTELY WORST THING , THAT I BOUGHT THIS MOTORCYCLE IN ISRAEL, WHERE I AM LIVING . AND THERE IS NO ONE IN ISRAEL WHO CAN HELP WITH MY PROBLEM , BECAUSE ZERO MOTORCYCLES CALLED BACK THEIR LICENSE FROM ONLY DEALER IN ISRAEL AND DIDN'T STARTED WORKING WITH ANYONE ELSE. IT SEEMS THAT ZERO MOTORCYCLES COMPANY FAILED TO COMPLY GUARANTEE AGREEMENTS WITH CUSTOMERS IN ISRAEL, THEREFORE I'M ASKING FOR YOUR HELP. THANK YOU.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
