Kawasaki Motorcycle negative battery cable may cause unstable earthing connection

Country	European Union
Category	Automotive
Published	2025-07-25
Country of origin	Thailand
Manufacturer	Kawasaki
Models affected	MEGURO S1, W230
Defect	The negative cable on the battery may cause the earthing connection to become unstable. The chassis engine mountings which create the earthing connection to the vehicle are coated with chassis paint and may have an insulating effect. This may cause the engine to cut out whilst it is running, on account of a loss of power to certain electrical components such as the engine-control unit. Engine-failure may result in an accident caused by loss of control.
Remedy	Recall of the product from end users.
Recall number	SR/02761/25
