The defect
Zero Motorcycles Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain 2020 SR/F and SR/S motorcycles. The front brake switch can fail from water getting into the switch.
The risk
An inoperable front brake switch will not illuminate the brake light when the rider applies the front brakes. Following vehicles may not realize the motorcycle is braking. Cruise control will not shut off with the application of the front brakes. Both conditions increase the risk of a crash.
