KMC USA informs us that they have narrowed down the recall to specific units and bad lot #'s of wheels. You must have your dealer determine if your motorcycle is affected by checking the VIN # in their database.
USA Kawasaki owners can see if their motorcycle is affected by visiting Kawasaki's website. By the time you read this Kawasaki should have a utility in place online allowing you to confirm if your bike is one which needs the front wheel to be replaced.
Also note that dealers should be ordering the specified "wheel kit" for this recall and not simply ordering "wheels" as it is only the "wheel kit" which at this time can guarantee a proper replacement wheel.
