- The problem
- Zero Motorcycles Inc. (Zero) is recalling certain model year 2015 SR, S, DS, and FX motorcycles. The affected motorcycles have a DC-DC converter that may have insufficient output power. During high power demand, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) may not function properly.
- The risk
- If the converter power output is insufficient, during an ABS activated event, the ABS and all vehicle lights would temporarily stop functioning, increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Zero has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the DC-DC converters, replacing ones of a specific type as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 16, 2016. Owners may contact Zero customer service at 1-888-841-8085. Zero's number for this recall is SV-ZMC-016-356.

lights, sometimes I do not. The motorcycle hasn't moved, weather is not an issue. Through my own diagnosis, with online help, I believe the issue to be the dc/dc converter signal from the main bike board. The manufacturer has been contacted by phone and email, and has ignored me, the local dealer has been contacted in person and by phone, and has ignored me. I have an unsafe vehicle that is just over 2 years old with 3227 miles on it.
