KTM North America is recalling approximately 550 model year 2015 and 2016 Freeride 250R competition off-road motorcycles. Under extreme riding conditions, fuel can leak from the tank's breather assembly, creating a serious fire risk. No injuries have been reported, and KTM is offering a free repair to all affected owners. These motorcycles were sold at KTM dealers nationwide between August 2014 and July 2015 for about $7,900 to $8,000.
Fuel can escape from the tank breather assembly during intense riding, which poses a significant risk of fire and potential injury to the rider. KTM advises that owners should immediately stop using these motorcycles until the fuel system has been repaired by an authorized dealer.
Consumers should immediately stop riding the recalled motorcycles and contact an authorized KTM dealer to schedule a free repair. KTM is contacting consumers who purchased the recalled product directly.
