Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

KTM North America is recalling about 1,200 model year 2017 KTM and Husqvarna closed-course/competition off-road motorcycles. The front brake master cylinder on these vehicles can malfunction, which could cause the brakes to fail. No injuries have been reported, but owners should stop using the motorcycles and seek a free repair from an authorized dealer. These motorcycles were sold nationwide from June 2016 to August 2016.

Risk

A defect in the front brake master cylinder can lead to a sudden loss of braking power, significantly increasing the risk of a crash and potential injury to the rider.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the right side of the steering head of your motorcycle.
  2. Check the 10th position of the VIN for the letter 'H' to confirm it is a 2017 model.
  3. Verify if your motorcycle is one of the following KTM models (Orange/Black): 150 XC-W, 250 XC-W, 300 XC-W, 350 SX-F, or 450 XC-F; or one of the following Husqvarna models (White/Blue/Yellow): TC 250, TX 300, or FC 350.
  4. Immediately stop using the recalled motorcycle to prevent the risk of a braking failure and crash.
  5. Contact an authorized KTM or Husqvarna Motorcycles dealer to schedule a free repair of the front brake master cylinder.
