Owner report 11219709 · 2019-06-13 (June 13, 2019)
I OWN A ZERO S 2018, WHEN I OFTEN EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS AND THE MOTORCYCLE DOES NOT START. ZERO DOES NOT GIVE SUPPORT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A 5-YEAR WARRANTY, NO TRAINING, NO INFORMATION. THERE IS NO DEALER IN ISRAEL, I ALSO SENT THEM A FEW EMAILS ON THE SUBJECT. I DID NOT GET AN ANSWER OTHER THAN ADVERTISEMENTS ABOUT THE NEW MOTORCYCLE THEY'RE INVESTING IN. I WOULD LIKE YOUR HELP TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR MY PROBLEM AND DOZENS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF ISRAELI ZERO-TYPE MOTORCYCLE OWNERS.

Reported: 2017-11-28 (November 28, 2017)
Zero Motorcycles Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain 2018 S ZF13.0, S ZF7.2, SR ZF14.4, DS ZF13.0, DSR ZF14.4, FX ZF7.2, and FXS ZF7.2 motorcycles. The information on the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) Label may indicate the wrong model year. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Consequence: If the affected 2018 motorcycles are ever subject to a recall, the owner may not realize the safety risk because of the misstated model year.
Remedy: Zero will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect label with a corrected label, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in December 2017. Owners may contact Zero customer service at 1-888-841-8085. Zero's number for this recall is SV-ZMC-017-380.
