KTM adventure bike recall
Potential brake circuit fault with the 2013-2016 models 1190 Adventure, 1190 Adventure R and 1290 Super AdventureKTM Australia has issued a recall notice on its 1190 Adventure, 1190 Adventure R and 1290 Super Adventure models, related to a brake circuit issue.
The recall applies to the 2013 to 2016 models (bikes on sale between January 1, 2013 and November 10, 2016), because in isolated cases contact may occur between the wiring harness and the ABS modulator due to deviations in the assembly process.
This will only happen if the wiring harness is frayed and in contact with the ABS modulator, and the brake line is electrically conductive. This may cause a conductive brake line to overheat and ultimately melt, which can result in failure of a brake system circuit.
If the brake system circuit fails it could result in brake failure, potentially causing a serious injury to the rider.
Consumers will be contacted by direct mail. Consumers should contact an authorised KTM dealer to arrange an appointment for an inspection of their motorcycle.
