Details
What's wrong: Ktm north america, Inc. (ktm) is recalling all model year 2014 1290 super duke r motorcycles manufactured July 1, 2013, to April 30, 2014. The affected motorcycles may leak fuel from the threaded inserts at the rear of the gas tank.
Why it matters: A fuel leak from the threaded inserts, in the presence of an ignition source, may increase the risk of a fire.
The fix: Ktm will notify owners, and dealers will seal the threaded inserts to prevent future fuel leaks. If the motorcycle shows evidence of an existing fuel leak at the threaded insert, the gas tank will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 11, 2015.
