17 April 2020 Coronavirus (COVID-19) Statement

As a responsible manufacturer, our prime responsibility and concern during these unprecedented times is the health and well-being of our staff, our dealers and our many customers.
As a result, and as you would expect, we are abiding by all the current UK Government issued guidance and restrictions. Whilst KMUK is still able to provide a high level of service to both dealers and end users, the vast majority of our staff providing that service are working from home.
We will of course continue to monitor the situation and act accordingly as the COVID-19 situation progresses.
 
Dealer Network

Our dealer network are also acting in the best interests of their staff and their customers, and each dealer has taken decisions that they feel are necessary and pertinent in order to abide by Government advice and instruction to ensure everyone remains safe and well.
Some of our dealers have taken the decision to close completely, others have closed their showrooms but kept the Service Dept open for service, repair work and MOT’s particularly for emergency vehicles, essential service vehicles and those of key workers. If you need to arrange for a repair, service or MOT, please contact your local Kawasaki dealer directly to establish their current status.
Whilst current Government restrictions in place stipulate that all retail sales showrooms in the UK must be closed to the public, a number of dealers are still available to contact either by telephone or email should you wish to speak to them about future motorcycle collections,  the purchase of a new or used motorcycle, or to book a service or MOT.
 
Customer Service

KMUK’s Customer Service function remains active throughout, however allowances must be made as most of the staff will be working from home, and as such it may take a little longer to respond to some enquires. We appreciate that many customers will have questions or be seeking guidance during this time and in response we have prepared a frequently asked questions information sheet which can be found here.
If for any reason the FaQs do not answer your query, please email customerservice@kawasaki.co.uk, or if you need to speak to someone, please telephone 01628 856750.
We sincerely hope all of our customers, dealers, supporters and friends remain safe, well and healthy during this time of National Crisis.

However, most can be contacted by telephone and email should you wish to speak to them about future vehicle services, MOT and repair requirements.  We would advise you to contact your dealership to check if they are open.
 
Q. I need warranty work completed, however I cannot get my vehicle to a Kawasaki dealer.
 A: In the event you cannot gain access for a repair to be completed under the Kawasaki Manufacturer Warranty and the fault was not logged with the dealer before the lock-down period, please contact Kawasaki  Customer Service to log the issue. Contact your local Kawasaki Dealer once restrictions have been lifted and it is convenient for you to do so. The dealer will then contact Kawasaki for support.

Q: What happens if my warranty expires during the lock-down period?
A: Careful consideration will be given to support each claim as long as the vehicle is booked in for the repair at the earliest convenience and your machine is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
If your machine's warranty was valid during March 2020, Kawasaki will extend it to help with any restrictions you may face as a result of the governments instructions to stay at home, popularly known as confinement or lockdown. The warranty extension period is as yet to be confirmed, but is intended to match the period during which the use of your motorcycle was restricted by the confinement instructions. Kawasaki will monitor closely the restrictions in place and confirm the extension period as soon as the lockdown restrictions are lifted.

All WarrantyPlus and other warranty claims will be considered due to the potential delay due to the current restrictions.
