Kawasaki says that the ignition switch wire may rub on the underside of the fuel tank and cause a possible electrical short, damaging the ignition switch.
If the ignition switch is damaged, the worse case scenario could lead to the engine stalling, posing a potential accident hazard to the rider and other road users.
The bike affected were sold between April 20, 2009 and August 27, 2015.
Customers with affected units will be contacted by mail. Consumers with affected units should contact their local Authorised Kawasaki Motorcycle Dealership to book in their motorcycle for repair.
