What is wrong
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.
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.
Remedy
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.

I am a new owner of this motorcycle and it falls out the light and as I noticed uncontrolled the signal light, brake booster, ABS .. . It is very dangerous to drive with this bike and you could get a penalty in our country . The motorcycle was only used for short distances. I have the opinion that not every customer can be an expert and constantly check the newly purchased (6000km total mileage) motorcycle for manufacturer error or even worse maybe an accident. The manufacturer refuses any warranty processing by the reasons that it has not been built during this period even though the same fault has occurred. Apparently there is the problem with several dc / dc controllers and the internet is full of very discusse about that. Unfortunately, I can no longer check that 2014 (from this year is the regulator) models have the same problem since the information about zero motorcycles disappeared at your hompage. I think it is definitely not the problem of the customer to pay the product errors. I have still one time the accumulator had already a capacity failure and a power drop of the engine to zero during one ride !!
