ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
- The defect
- Zero Motorcycles Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain 2023-2024 DSR/X, 2024 DS, DSR, and DSRP motorcycles. Improperly routed key switch signal wires may break, causing a loss of drive power.
- What it can cause
- A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- The firmware will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 26, 2025. Owners may contact Zero customer service at 1-888-841-8085. Zero's number for this recall is SV-RCL-025-018.
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 319 vehicles this is a small campaign: 54% of the 18,922 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 469. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Zero vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 5 times before this, most recently in October 2020 as 20V640000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 26V048000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 25V834000 (electrical system), 25V459000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
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 September 9, 2025 as campaign 25V587000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
