What this recall means for you
The front brake master cylinder on these motorcycles may have a return spring that is too weak. This can keep the brake piston from returning fully to its original position, which reduces the front brake's effectiveness.
A front brake with reduced function can increase the distance needed to stop and raises the risk of a crash and injury. Riders should be cautious and check the front brake before riding.
The repair is free. Authorized dealers will replace the return spring at no charge. Owners can contact KTM customer service at 1-888-985-6090 and should check their vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
