What's wrong?
The engine oil pan on the 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 T-Rex 14 is the metal sump at the bottom of the Kawasaki 1352cc engine. It holds engine oil after it drains through the motor, so the oil pump can send that oil back through the engine for lubrication and cooling.
On affected motorcycles, the oil pan sits too close to the road. During normal use, the pan can strike pavement or an object in the road. A hard strike can dent or crack the pan, letting engine oil leak out and leaving the engine without the oil it needs to run safely.
There is no warning sign before failure. A rider should treat any scrape, impact, or oil spot under the engine as a reason to stop and have the motorcycle checked before riding farther.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorcycle is included.
What's the safety risk?
An impact to the engine oil pan can push the oil drain bolt through the pan and start an engine oil leak. That leak can reduce rear wheel traction and increase the risk of a crash. Schedule the recall repair soon. Repair will be free at any franchised T-Rex dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, or 2013 T-Rex 14 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised T-Rex dealer to confirm whether the free drain-bolt replacement is open for your VIN.
- Schedule the flush drain-bolt replacement that helps prevent the oil pan impact from becoming an engine oil leak.
- Bring the recall notice if Campagna has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V608 when you call.
- Avoid road debris and rough pavement until the repair is complete, since an oil leak can reduce rear-wheel traction.
What happens at the repair
The filing says T-Rex owners were notified after the recall began on November 26, 2014. At the dealer, a T-Rex technician replaces the engine oil pan drain bolt with a flush bolt so it sits closer to the pan and has less exposure to road contact. The final dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall.
