Kawasaki Recalls Certain Model Year 2009 – 2010 KLX250 Motorcycles


Washington, DC—(ENEWSPF)—July 1, 2011

Summary:  Kawasaki is recalling certain model year 2009 – 2010 KLX250 motorcycles. The fuel tank could lead from cracks at the spot weld(s) on the side mount tabs due to stress caused by excessive clearance between the fuel tank and a frame-mounted rubber damper.

Consequence:  Fuel leakage in the presence of spark or flame could cause a fire or explosion possibly resulting in injury or death.

Remedy:  Dealers will inspect and correct the fuel tank as necessary, free of charge. The Safety Recall is expected to begin during June 2011. Owners may contact Kawasaki Consumer Services Department at 866-802-9381.

Notes:  Kawasaki Safety Recall No. MC11-04. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
