What are the defects?
It was determined that in some cases the spacers of the 690 Enduro R where installed on the front wheel of the 690 SMC R. These spacers are 4.4mm shorter and the resulting play can cause the wheel to move axially on the front wheel spindle.

What are the hazards?
If the defect occurs, this can lead to damage of the brake disc and fork tubes and the ABS sensor, causing the ABS system function to be impaired. In addition, the brake piston can be pushed back from the brake disc, resulting in total failure of the front brakes. Failure of the brakes may result in injury or worse to the rider / pillion passenger and may pose a hazard to other road users.

What are the defects?
KTM discovered that the rear ABS brake line of the 690 Enduro R and 690 SMC R models of model year 2015 have possibly been damaged while mounting the spring band clamps of the engine ventilation tube. Even without this pre-existing defect, subsequent damage caused by vibrations at the contact point as well as a sudden braking pressure loss, with resultant total failure of the rear brake, cannot be excluded.

What are the hazards?
A sudden braking pressure loss, with resultant total failure of the rear brake, cannot be excluded. As a result the rider / pillion passenger or other road users could be at the risk of injury or worse.
