The rear brake caliper on about 21,040 GASGAS and Husqvarna off-road motorcycles can crack or break in use. KTM North America recalled the motorcycles in the United States on August 20, 2026, citing a serious risk of injury or death.
Riders should not use the motorcycles until a dealer completes the free repair. No injuries had been reported when the recall was announced.
No lawsuit, class action or MDL names GASGAS motorcycles. The recall alone does not decide who is at fault. It covers 2021-2024 models that authorized dealers sold between September 2020 and June 2023.
Latest GASGAS Motorcycle Lawsuit Updates
August 20, 2026: Rear Brake Caliper Recall Announced
KTM North America announced a safety recall of 2021-2024 off-road models sold under the GASGAS and Husqvarna brands, RideApart reported [1].
The company issued it through the CPSC with Transport Canada as a Fast Track Recall. Riders are told to stop riding until an authorized dealer finishes the free repair.
May 8, 2025: GASGAS Lists Front Brake Caliper Alert
GASGAS listed a CPSC recall alert dated May 8, 2025 on the GASGAS safety recall page for the front brake caliper on 2022-2025 off-road motorcycles with Braktec brake systems [2].
Who May Be Affected?
Owners of 2021-2024 GASGAS off-road motorcycles in the EC, EX, MC and EW lines may be affected by the rear brake caliper recall. GASGAS models include the 2021 EC 300, the 2023 EX 450F and the 2024 EW 500F.
The recall also covers 2022-2024 Husqvarna FE, TE, FX and TX models, such as the 2022 FE 350 and the 2024 TE 300. Authorized GASGAS and Husqvarna dealers sold them between September 2020 and June 2023 for $7,300 to $13,000.
A rider hurt in a crash on one of these motorcycles may want a legal review of the crash, the repair records and the condition of the brake parts.
Reported Injuries or Damages
The recall notice says a cracked or broken rear caliper greatly increases the risk of a crash, injury or death.
No lawsuit alleges an injury from these motorcycles. The recall notice is a regulator’s warning. It is not a finding that a crash happened or that the caliper caused an injury.
Recall and Regulatory Background
Owners can call GASGAS and Husqvarna toll-free at 1-888-985-6090, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern, Monday through Friday. Enter your motorcycle’s VIN on the GASGAS recalls check to see open recalls [3].
The Husqvarna motorcycle lawsuit page covers the sister brand, because the same recall also covers Husqvarna models sold by the same dealers.
Evidence to Preserve
If you crashed on a recalled motorcycle, keep these items in their current condition:
- The motorcycle’s VIN, model and year
- The purchase or dealer paperwork
- Recall notices and dealer repair or service records
- Photographs of the brake caliper and the crash scene
- Medical records and bills
- The damaged parts, kept unaltered
- Messages with the dealer, KTM North America or GASGAS
- Names of any witnesses
Filing Deadlines
Filing deadlines exist, and state law sets them. They vary with where the rider lives and when the crash or injury happened.
If a rider waits too long, a court may refuse the claim even when the crash facts are strong. A lawyer can check the deadline that applies, so talk to one promptly.
