What’s the Problem?
This recall affects 2019-2020 KTM 790 Adventure and 790 Adventure R motorcycles, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The rear brake hose on affected motorcycles may overheat, causing the rear brake system to fail, NHTSA said. If the rear brake system fails, there will be reduced braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
KTM North America, Inc., is notifying owners and dealers will install a new rear brake line, free of charge. This recall began on June 1, 2020.
