KAWASAKI CONCOURS 14 2008-2012
Manufacturer: KAWASAKI MOTORS CORP., U.S.A.Mfr's Report Date: JUL 18, 2012
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 12V343000 NHTSA Action Number: N/A

Potential Number of Units Affected: 13,289
Summary:
 Kawasaki is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 Concours 14 (ZG1400 A/B/C/D) motorcycles. Due to a gap between the brake pedal and guard, small stone or debris can become trapped, creating a brake drag. This can cause the rear brake to overheat, leading to rear brake damage and lock-up or failure of the rear brakes. The front brakes may also be affected on ZG1400C models.
Consequence:
 If the brakes lock up or fail, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy:
 Kawasaki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear master cylinder rod end and remove the brake guard (if installed),
