- The defect
- Zero Motorcycles Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain 2020 SR/F motorcycles. The rear rotor bolts were insufficiently tightened.
- What it can cause
- The loose bolts may damage the caliper or swingarm, reducing rear braking capability and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will correctly tighten and replace the rear rotor bolts as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 1, 2021. Owners may contact Zero customer service at 1-888-841-8085. Zero's number for this recall is SV-ZMC-020-417.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
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 411 vehicles this is a small campaign: 51% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Zero vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 3 times before this, most recently in March 2017 as 17V145000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 20V704000 (exterior lighting).
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 Zero Motorcycles Inc. with NHTSA on October 13, 2021 as campaign 21V795000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
