Update: KTM Recalls Closed Course Competition Motorcycles Over Crash, Injury Hazards
KTM North America Inc. is recalling about 3,310 KTM Closed Course Competition Motorcycles over concerns that the motorcycle’s connecting rod can break, posing crash and injury hazards.
This recall affects KTM, Husqvarna, and GASGAS closed course competition motorcycles with models KTM 2022 125 SX, 125 XC, 150 SX, Husqvarna TC 125 and GASGAS MC 125. Model numbers are printed on the side panel or rear fender.
If you purchased a KTM motorcycle that is affected by this recall, you should stop using it immediately and contact an authorized KTM, Husqvarna, or GASGAS Motorcycles dealer to schedule a free repair, which involves replacing the CDI box.

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.
