EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:BULBS
- The defect
- Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. (Kawasaki) is recalling certain 2025-2026 W230 motorcycles. The turn signal light bulbs may contain foreign material or have cracks, resulting in light bulb failure.
- What it can cause
- A front or rear turn signal that does not illuminate to indicate the rider's direction of travel increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace all turn signal lights, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 7, 2026. Owners may contact Kawasaki customer service at (855) 878-4217. Kawasaki's number for this recall is MC26-08.
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 840 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 56% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2025 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Kawasaki vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 5 times before this, most recently in July 2017 as 17V465000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 25V363000 (engine).
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 12, 2026 as campaign 26V387000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
