- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the relief valve, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 23, 2021. Owners may contact KMC customer service at 1-866-802-9381. KMC's number for this recall is MC21-05.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,523 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 63% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Kawasaki vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling 11 times before this, most recently in December 2020 as 20V774000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 22V912000 (engine and engine cooling), 21V594000 (suspension).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. with NHTSA on July 30, 2021 as campaign 21V593000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
