Kawasaki Motors Corporation USA just issued a Stop Sale notice for its 2025 and 2026 W230 ABS motorcycles due to a safety recall for a turn signal issue. The problem relates to a manufacturing problem, where the light bulbs used in these turn signals may fail to illuminate properly. A lack of properly lit turn signals could increase the risk of a crash and/or injury.
Approximately 840 individual motorcycles could be affected, according to Kawasaki's records. This represents around 1% of the population, and applies across both the 2025 and 2026 model years of the W230 ABS. The affected bikes were produced between October 2, 2024 and October 28, 2025.
