Zero Motorcycles Inc.: Exterior Lighting › Brake Lights › Switch
Zero Motorcycles Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Nov 13, 2020 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 659. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Zero Motorcycles Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain 2020 SR/F and SR/S motorcycles. The front brake switch can fail from water getting into the switch.
The risk
An inoperable front brake switch will not illuminate the brake light when the rider applies the front brakes. Following vehicles may not realize the motorcycle is braking. Cruise control will not shut off with the application of the front brakes. Both conditions increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Zero will notify owners, and dealers will the replace the front brake switch, free of charge. The recall began November 30, 2020. Owners may contact Zero customer service at 1-888-841-8085. Zero's number for this recall is SV-ZMC-021-020.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 20V704000.
