We reported in great detail when the new Kawasaki Ninja 300 was recalled in international markets due to ABS-related issues. Now, it has emerged that some of the new N300 bikes will be recalled due to issues with the ECU.

Launched in India earlier this year, the new Ninja 300 replaced the last gen Ninja 250 in our market. While the first recall didn’t affect the India spec model, it isn’t yet known if the latest recall drive will cover the Indian N300s. As many as 11,097 units will be recalled and Kawasaki will notify owners of the bikes which will be covered in this recall though email. The respective ECUs of all the affected bikes will be replaced free of cost at the dealerships.
