2018 Kawasaki Ninja 300 Recalled For Brake Issues

The brake issues are for the locally-built motorcycles produced from 2018 onwards

• The Ninja 300 became the first Kawasaki to get locally sourced parts.
• This made the bike more affordable by around Rs 60,000.
• The brakes are one of the locally-sourced components.

Kawasaki India has issued a mass recall of all units of the Ninja 300 built here in India from 2018 onwards. The Japanese manufacturer says that the recall is to rectify an issue with the front master cylinder made by Endurance. The braking units were one of the major areas where Kawasaki sought localisation for the Ninja 300.

The Ninja 300 has been one of Kawasaki’s best selling models in India. With the price reduction after localisation, it held the status of being the most affordable parallel-twin motorcycle on sale in India, that is until the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 came rolling in. Despite its demise in global markets, Kawasaki India still sells the Ninja 300 in India as it is a popular model amongst those who aspire to buy themselves a sub-400cc supersport motorcycle.
