KTM North America is recalling approximately 7,000 KTM and Husaberg competition/closed-course and off-road motorcycles from the 2012 and 2013 model years. The throttle cable on these 13 specific models can malfunction, leading to an uncontrollable throttle which poses a serious crash hazard to the rider. These motorcycles were sold at authorized dealers nationwide between January 2012 and April 2013 for prices ranging from $5,300 to $8,450. Owners should contact an authorized dealer to schedule a free repair.
During use, the throttle cable can fail or become stuck, preventing the rider from being able to slow down or control the engine speed. This loss of throttle control can result in a sudden crash, though no incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled KTM and Husaberg motorcycles and contact a KTM or Husaberg authorized dealer to schedule a free repair.
