KTM North America KTM Brand and Husqvarna Brand Enduro Motorcycles Due to a Crash Hazard (Recall Alert)
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
The front fork pistons can become stuck within the fork leg and cause the operator to lose control of the motorcycle and crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
