The short answer

NHTSA received KAWASAKI MOTORS CORP.’s report on Nov 21, 2000. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

IF THE SHAFT BREAKS, THERE WILL BE NO SUPPORT FOR THE DRIVER’S FOOT.

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: “RIBBED CHROME DRIVE FOOTPEGS” SOLD AS ACCESSORY PARTS FOR VARIOUS KAWASAKI 1987-2001 VULCAN MOTORCYCLES.

THESE FOOTPEGS REPLACE THE STOCK FOOTPEGS AND ARE A “BOLT-ON” ACCESSORY ITEM THAT MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED BY DEALERS, OR MAY HAVE BEEN PURCHASED FOR INSTALLATION BY CONSUMERS.

THE PEGS CONSIST OF A CASTING WITH A CHROMED COVER AND A RUBBER INSERT.

A CASTING FLAW CAN CAUSE THE SHAFT TO BREAK OFF.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
