| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Lodged original complaint under subcategory 'other'. plastic (nylon) oil gear failure. mine failed at 41000 miles. most have failed at earlier mileage. failure occurrs without warning, results in sudden loss of all oil pressure, can lead to engine lock-up, and loss of control. no injuries have been reported as yet. kawasaki is aware of the problem, but are waiting for failure before replacement. failure only occurrs while riding, which always leaves the rider stranded, requiring a tow. i hope death and injury are not prerequisites to recall. *ak |
