Husqvarna Recalls Closed-Course/Competition Off-Road Motorcycles Due to Crash Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Husqvarna is recalling approximately 260 of its 2013 model year CR125, WR125, WR250, and WR300 closed-course/competition motorcycles. The throttle cable on these off-road bikes can malfunction, causing the rider to lose control of their speed and potentially crash. These motorcycles were sold in white, red, and black at motorcycle shops nationwide between October 2012 and June 2013 for prices ranging from $6,300 to $7,100.

Risk

A malfunctioning throttle cable can cause the motorcycle to fail to decelerate as expected or maintain unintended speeds. This loss of speed control directly poses a crash hazard to the rider, though no injuries have been reported to date.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate the model number on the rear fender of your motorcycle, on either side just below the tail end of the seat, to see if it is a CR125, WR125, WR250, or WR300 model.
  2. Check the vehicle identification number (VIN) on the right side of the steering head; if the 10th character is the letter 'D', it is a 2013 model affected by this recall.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled Husqvarna motorcycles to prevent the risk of a crash.
  4. Contact an authorized Husqvarna dealer to schedule a free repair of the throttle cable system.
