November 2, 2020 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V676000
Gear Misengagement may cause Transmission Damage
Damaged gears and the inability to shift can cause the engine to lock up, increasing the risk of a crash.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V676
Manufacturer Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A.
Components POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Number of Units Affected 799
Summary
Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. (KMC) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Ninja H2 SX, Ninja H2 SXSE, and 2019-2020 Ninja H2 SXSE+ motorcycles. In the event of a gear misengagement the engine electronic control unit (ECU) programming doesn’t have the capability to suppress high RPM during transmission. If the transmission gears are not properly engaged while shifting into 4th or 5th gear, high engine RPM can cause the output gears of 4th or 5th to fracture when the gears re-engage.
Remedy
KMC will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the FI-ECU software, free of charge. Owners are advised to not ride their motorcycle until the repair has been completed. The recall began November 16, 2020. Owners may contact KMC customer service at 1-866-802-9381. KMC’s number for this recall is MC20-10.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Subject
On affected units, if the transmission gears are not properly engaged while shifting into 4th or 5th gear, high engine RPM can cause the output gears of 4th or 5th gear to fracture when the gears re-engage.
The engine control program of the electronic control unit (ECU) doesn’t have the capability to suppress high RPM during transmission gear misengagement, allowing this problem to occur. Jamming of broken gears can cause the engine to lock up, increasing the risk of a crash.
Kawasaki Action
Initiate Campaign:
Kawasaki has initiated a Recall campaign to repair all eligible units. The repair consists of reprogramming the ECU. Reprogramming will not affect vehicle performance or emission levels.

Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination
May 2018 – Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) received a report of “inability to shift gear due to breakage of Output 4th gear” from its European distributor (KME). The user was unable to shift into 4th gear, but operation of the lower gears was not affected. No collision or injury was reported. KHI began to collect failed parts and investigate the cause of the reported problem.
October 2018 – KHI evaluated the failed engine returned from KME. Overload fracture of the fourth output gear was observed, resulting in the inability to shift into 4th gear. However there was no irregularity in the dimensions, hardness or material texture of the gears, including 4th gear. KHI continued to investigate the cause of the reported problem.
March 2019 – KHI received a report of “inability to shift gear due to breakage of 5th output gear” from its Japanese distributor (KMJ). The user was unable to shift into 5th gear but the operation of the lower gears was not affected. No collision or injury was reported. Once again, there was no irregularity in the dimensions, hardness or material texture of the gears, including 5th gear. KHI continued to investigate the cause of the reported problem.
October 2019 – KHI first considered a sudden increase in engine rpm when the transmission gears are not properly engaged while shifting as a possible cause of reported problem. KHI continued to investigate the cause of the reported problem. No related injuries or collisions had been reported.
March – June 2020 – COVID-19 disruptions delay further investigation. No related injuries or collisions had been reported.
October 2020 – KHI confirmed that when the transmission gears are not properly engaged while shifting into 4th or 5th gear, high engine RPM can cause the output gears of 4th and 5th gear to fracture when the gears re-engage. This can result in the inability to shift into 4th or 5th gear.
October 2020 — Though the misengagement of the gears is the result of improper use of the transmission, and though there were no reports of collisions or injuries related to this issue, KHI decided to recall the unit to reprogram the ECU so that it would prevent high rpms while the gears are not engaged. KHI confirmed the effectiveness of this solution in testing.

- GTX 250 High Performance 6 speed EFI Electronic Fuel Injection street motorcycle. An EFI system is all electronic. Because of this it has an injector, which means it doesn’t require a fuel float that you would find in a carburetor. The carburetor floats can bounce around causing a lot of problems, especially with the movement of vehicles.
- 6 Speed manual transmission allows the engine to run at a lower RPM and save fuel,most effective at highway driving speeds. Not only are there no carburetor maintenance or replacement costs, there is also less servicing needed in general. The fuel system, for example, is entirely sealed so the gasoline does not encounter oxygen, which causes it to go bad. This prevents the needs for bringing the engine in for servicing in the spring as a result of contaminated gas
- High-capacity 4.75 gallon fuel tank and 17" front and rear tires offer great traction. By monitoring the engine sensors, the ECU determines the precise amount of fuel that needs to be delivered by the injector. It also delivers the exact air/fuel ratio to the engine by activating the injectors for the precise amount of time. Fine tuning this delivery results in better fuel economy by reducing consumption up to 25 percent and emissions control up to 20 percent.
- Reliable electric starter with CDI ignition and Front and Rear Disc brake supply strong, reliable stopping power. The engine control unit (ECU) is the brain of the EFI engine and the reason for many advantages of EFI. The ECU interprets a variety of information from sensors throughout the engine so that it can continually run at an optimal level.
