Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. "KMC" is recalling certain 2021 Z400 ABS "ER400D", Ninja 400 "EX400H" and Ninja 400 ABS "EX400G" motorcycles. The strength of the camshaft chain tensioner may be insufficient due to improper heat treatment, possibly causing it to be damaged.
A damaged camshaft chain tensioner can cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
