Service Brakes

Filed Oct 5, 201722,000 milesCA

ABS/LINKED BRAKES HAVE A CONDITION WHERE THE REAR BRAKE LEVER HAS INCONSISTENT TRAVEL AND OCCASIONALLY PULSATES MAKING EFFECTIVE BRAKING IMPOSSIBLE. THE FRONT BRAKES WILL ALSO ACTIVATE INCONSISTENTLY WITH EXCESSIVE PRESSURE WHEN THE REAR BRAKES ARE APPLIED CAUSING STEERING VIBRATION. KAWASAKI HAS ADMITTED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL EARLY 2015- CONCOURS BIKES AND EVEN ATTEMPTED TO RETROFIT A 2016 ABS MODULE TO MY 2014 TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. KAWASAKI WAS UNABLE TO RETROFIT THE ABS MODULE AND REPLACED THE WHOLE SYSTEM BUT THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED. HTTPS://WWW.MECHANICADVISOR.COM/PROBLEMS/KAWASAKI/2012/CONCOURS-14

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
