2010–2011 KTM 690 Enduro R & 2011 Husaberg FE 570S + 3 more recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
KTM is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 motorcycles manufactured from november 2009 through november 23, 2010. Due to improper heat treatment, the handlebar clamps CAN develop cracks, allowing the handlebar to move from its set position.
💥 The risk
Unexpected movement of the handlebar may cause the driver to crash, possibly resulting in injury or death to the rider or others.
🔧 The fix
Authorized KTM dealers will replace the defective clamps free of charge. The safety recall began on may 25, 2011. Owners may contact KTM customer service at 1-888-985-6090 for assistance.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
