According to the ACCC, "Certain batches have hand brake cylinders with defective machining. This can lead to early wear of the sealing cup in the hand brake cylinder, thus leading to impaired braking performance."
Affected owners will have a recall notification letter sent to them by KTM. They should then return their bike to an authorised KTM dealership for inspection and, if necessary, repair.
