Zero Recalls 2017 DSP ZF13.0, S ZF6.5, S ZF13.0, and SR ZF13.0 Motorcycles Since the Turn Signal Flasher May Not Change Its Flash Rate to Alert the Operator in the Event That a Turn Signal Stops Working

Zero Motorcycles Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain 2017 S ZF6.5, S ZF13.0, DSP ZF13.0, and SR ZF13.0 motorcycles.
