What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2015 Zero Sr, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
I AM A NEW OWNER OF THIS MOTORCYCLE AND IT FALLS OUT THE LIGHT AND AS I NOTICED UNCONTROLLED THE SIGNAL LIGHT, BRAKE BOOSTER, ABS .. . IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THIS BIKE AND YOU COULD GET A PENALTY IN OUR COUNTRY . THE MOTORCYCLE WAS ONLY USED FOR SHORT DISTANCES. I HAVE THE OPINION THAT NOT EVERY CUSTOMER CAN BE AN EXPERT AND CONSTANTLY CHECK THE NEWLY PURCHASED (6000KM TOTAL MILEAGE) MOTORCYCLE FOR MANUFACTURER ERROR OR EVEN WORSE MAYBE AN ACCIDENT. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES ANY WARRANTY PROCESSING BY THE REASONS THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN BUILT DURING THIS PERIOD EVEN THOUGH THE SAME FAULT HAS OCCURRED. APPARENTLY THERE IS THE PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL DC / DC CONTROLLERS AND THE INTERNET IS FULL OF VERY DISCUSSE ABOUT THAT. UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN NO LONGER CHECK THAT 2014 (FROM THIS YEAR IS THE REGULATOR) MODELS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE THE INFORMATION ABOUT ZERO MOTORCYCLES DISAPPEARED AT YOUR HOMPAGE. I THINK IT IS DEFINITELY NOT THE PROBLEM OF THE CUSTOMER TO PAY THE PRODUCT ERRORS. I HAVE STILL ONE TIME THE ACCUMULATOR HAD ALREADY A CAPACITY FAILURE AND A POWER DROP OF THE ENGINE TO ZERO DURING ONE RIDE !!
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

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.
