Kawasaki Motors Corp. U.S.A., is recalling 2004 ZX-10R models due to possible casting flaws in the front wheel.

According to Russ Brenan, Trade/Enthusiast Media Supervisor for Kawasaki, the company is “notifying dealers today and a letter will be sent out to customers on August 2nd.”

Asked what is wrong with the front wheel, Brenan told Roadracingworld.com that “Some of them may have some casting flaws that are undetectable visually so we’re being proactive and replacing the front wheels on all the units that have been retailed thus far.”

Asked if the company knows of any crashes in the U.S. caused by the problem, Brenan said, “We have not been made aware of any at this point, no.”

Brenan said that replacement wheels will be allocated to dealers starting the week of August 2nd. “Customers should contact their dealer upon receipt of their letter,” Brenan said.
