What this recall means for you
Some 2015 motorcycles built between November 2014 and February 2015 may have a rear brake line that was damaged during assembly, or that can be damaged by rubbing against the spring clamp of the crankcase ventilation hose. A damaged line can cause a loss of rear braking, which raises the risk of a crash.
Owners are advised not to ride the motorcycle until the recall has been completed. Authorized KTM dealers will inspect the position of the crankcase ventilation hose clamp and correct it if needed, and will replace any damaged brake line. All repairs are free of charge. KTM will also notify owners directly.
To check whether your motorcycle is affected, contact KTM customer service at 1-888-985-6090 or see an authorized KTM dealer, and check your VIN for open recalls.
