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 482 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 50% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 26V387000 (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 Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. with NHTSA on June 23, 2025 as campaign 25V363000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
