NHTSA recall 09V134000
Structure · KTM North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: During use, the front forks could develop cracks; this could result in the possibility of the front fork inner tube separating from the axle clamp. The cause of the defect involves improper heat treatment of the front fork inner tubes by the manufacturer.
Why it matters: Subsequently this could lead to loss of control and a crash possibly with injury or death to the rider or others.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the front fork tubes free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during May 2009.
