the current lithium-ion battery with one that contains cells with a different chemical composition. CAKE currently estimates that replacement batteries will be available from March 2024 .
Interim notification letters are expected to be mailed in January 2024. As an interim action, since batteries subject to this recall on the appliable KALK motorcycles are interchangeable, registered owners of KALK motorcycles will be asked to check the battery serial number on their KALK units, comparing it against a list of affected battery pack serial numbers that will be available on CAKE’s website or by contacting CAKE’s Service team. If customers determine that the battery on their KALK motorcycle is one of the affected batteries, CAKE will provide interim charging instructions that customers will be advised to follow until replacement battery packs are available. Once replacement battery packs have been made available, CAKE will provide instructions on how to replace the existing battery pack and what to do with the old battery pack. CAKE’s Service team will be available to assist at every point in this procedure.
