Kawasaki Malaysia confirms recall on Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R & ZX-10RR

Kawasaki Motors Malaysia has issued a notification in relations to the worldwide recall for the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R and ZX-10RR models.

The affected models manufactured from 2016 to 2017 stem from a possible transmission gear failure when presented with high impact force.

The repair consists of replacing the 2nd, 3rd & 4th output gears and the 2nd input gear in the transmission.

It was only five days ago when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a recall of around 4,000 units of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R and ZX-10RR from 2016 to 2018 in the US. The recall was announced to a faulty transmission system that might cause the gears to break during shifts.

The issue was identified initially in the Thai market and soon afterward, Kawasaki Motors Corp., USA confirmed the recall and announced a proactive measure to make sure that all of the affected units are remedied as soon as possible.

It turns out that the transmission gears from 2nd to 4th are prone to breakage when presented with high impact forces during gear shifts. Now, Kawasaki Motors Malaysia (KMSB) has confirmed this and has taken the initiative as a responsible importer to identify, inspect and remedy all of the affected ZX-10R ABS and ZX-10RR units here in Malaysia.

The notification that was officially released by Kawasaki Motors Malaysia can be read as follows:
