- The defect
- Zero Motorcycles Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain 2024-2025 DSR/X, DS, DSR, and DSRP motorcycles. The front brake hose may be twisted and become damaged, which can cause a brake fluid leak and a loss of brake pressure.
- What it can cause
- A loss of brake pressure can reduce braking ability and cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the hose as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 23, 2026. Owners may contact Zero customer service at 1-888-841-8085. Zero's number for this recall is SV-RCL-025-017.2. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov on February 27, 2026.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.

How this campaign compares
At 118 vehicles this is a small campaign: 68% 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 model years 2024 to 2025, 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 service brakes, hydraulic 7 times before this, most recently in July 2025 as 25V459000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 25V587000 (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.
