No lawsuit, class action or MDL has been filed over the caliper. The recall covers model years 2021-2024, sold between September 2020 and June 2023.
Latest Husqvarna Motorcycle Lawsuit Updates
August 20, 2026: Husqvarna Mobility Announces a Recall Campaign
Husqvarna Mobility announced a recall campaign for 2022-2024 enduro and cross country models with Braktec brake systems [1]. Authorized dealers replace the rear brake caliper and caliper bracket free of charge.
The company says excessive loads may occur on the rear brake caliper under certain riding conditions. In rare cases, this could result in the caliper breaking. Owners are notified by letter.
August 20, 2026: KTM North America Issues a Rear Brake Caliper Recall
KTM North America issued a safety recall through U.S. and Canadian regulators, RideApart reports [2]. In the United States it covers about 21,040 bikes from both brands.
About 4,140 motorcycles were sold in Canada. Owners should stop riding until they schedule a free repair with an authorized dealer.
May 15, 2025: CPSC Announces a Front Brake Caliper Recall
The CPSC announced recall 25-283 of about 19,310 GASGAS and Husqvarna off-road motorcycles in the United States, model years 2022-2025 [3]. About 3,870 more were sold in Canada.
The notice says the front brake caliper can crack. This reduces the braking system’s effectiveness and poses a crash hazard.
Who May Be Affected?
Husqvarna and GASGAS off-road motorcycles in model years 2021-2024 are covered by the recall. The motorcycles were sold at authorized dealers in that window for $7,300 to $13,000.
The recall lists these models:
- Husqvarna 2022: FE 350, FE 501, TE 150i, TE 250i and TE 300i
- Husqvarna 2023: TE 150, TE 250, TE 300, FX 350, FE 450, FX 450 and TX 300, plus Heritage versions of some
- Husqvarna 2024: TE 150, TE 250, TE 300, FE 350W, FE 450 and FE 501W
- GASGAS: 2021 EC 300 and 2022-2024 EC, EX, MC and EW 500F models, such as the 2023 MC 125 and 2024 EC 450F
Whether a rider has a legal claim depends on the facts of the crash, so it takes an individual legal review.
Reported Injuries or Damages
KTM North America announced the 2026 recall with no injuries reported at the time of the announcement. No lawsuit alleges injury from either caliper problem.
The 2026 notice says the caliper could break in use, causing a serious risk of injury or death. A court has made no finding.
Recall and Regulatory Background
The 2025 recall covered the front caliper. The 2026 recall covers the rear one. A recall does not prove liability.
The GASGAS sister brand has its own page, GASGAS motorcycle lawsuit, with more detail. A rider can check a VIN on the Husqvarna Recalls Check page [4].
Evidence to Preserve
A rider hurt in a crash may want to keep the following items. Keep the parts unrepaired where possible:
- The motorcycle and its VIN
- The rear brake caliper and bracket, or the replaced parts
- Recall letters and dealer repair records
- Purchase and service records
- Photographs of the bike, the caliper and the crash scene
- Medical records and bills
- Messages with the dealer or Husqvarna
Filing Deadlines
Deadlines for injury claims come from state law. They vary with where the rider lives and when the crash and injury happened.
A claim can end if a Husqvarna rider misses the state deadline, even with strong facts. A Husqvarna rider hurt in a crash should talk with a lawyer soon.
