- The defect
- Zero Motorcycles Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain 2023 DSR/X motorcycles. The motor controller may have been built with incorrect fasteners, causing higher resistance at the busbar joint and a loss of drive power.
- What it can cause
- A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the controller, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 19, 2026. Owners may contact Zero customer service at 1-888-841-8085. Zero's number for this recall is SV-RCL-025-021. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning December 19, 2025.
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 7 vehicles this is a small campaign: 94% 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, 2023, 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 6 times before this, most recently in September 2025 as 25V587000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 25V587000 (electrical system).
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 December 2, 2025 as campaign 25V834000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
