KTM North America is recalling about 920 model year 2016 KTM and Husqvarna motocross competition motorcycles. The internal connecting rod in the engine's crankshaft can break, which can cause the rider to lose control and crash. There have been five reports of the rod cracking, though no injuries have been reported. These motorcycles were sold at authorized KTM and Husqvarna dealers nationwide between October 2015 and March 2016 for prices ranging from $8,400 to $9,100.
The connecting rod inside the engine can fracture during use, causing the engine to fail suddenly. This can lead to a loss of control and a crash, posing a serious risk of injury to the operator.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled motorcycles and contact an authorized KTM or Husqvarna Motorcycles dealer to schedule a free repair.
