The issue
On certain motorcycles, the ribbed chrome accessory footpegs have a casting flaw which can cause the footpeg shaft to break off, leaving no support for the driver's foot. Footpeg breakage could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle with the potential for an accident resulting in injury or death. Correction: The dealer will replace the footpegs with the original Kawasaki footpeg.
Description (français)
Sur certaines motocyclettes, les repose-pied chromés installés comme accessoire optionnel peuvent se briser à cause d'un défaut de fabrication, laissant le pied du conducteur sans support. Si c'est le cas, le conducteur pourrait perdre le contrôle de son véhicule et avoir un accident qui peut lui causer des blessures ou lui faire perdre la vie. Correction : Le concessionnaire devra replacer les repose-pied chromés par des pièces Kawasaki d'origine.
