NHTSA recall 21V627000
Structure, Suspension · KTM North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Ktm north america, Inc. (ktm) is recalling certain 2018-2020 husqvarna motorcycle 701 vitpilen and 2019-2020 701 svartpilen motorcycles. The gear teeth on the license plate holder and swingarm may be positioned incorrectly, possibly resulting in a loose rear axle nut, causing the license plate holder to contact the rear wheel.
Why it matters: License plate bracket interference with the rear wheel can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and realign the gear teeth on the license plate holder and swingarm, and inspect the tightness of the rear wheel axle collar, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 1, 2021.
