Reason the product is recalled

What consumers should do

Affected consumers have been contacted by dealerships, advising them of the recall and asking them to contact an authorised KTM dealer to arrange an appointment for inspection of their motorcycle. Affected motorcycles that have not been sold will be inspected and repaired (if needed) before sale.
