NHTSA Recall 14V305000
Filed by KTM North America, Inc.. Component: Service Brakes, Hydraulic. Reported 2014-06-05. An estimated 649 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.
Defect
KTM North America, Inc. (KTM) is recalling certain model year 2014 690 Enduro R motorcycles manufactured October 2013 to April 2014. In the affected motorcycles, the rear brake pedal mounting bolt may loosen, allowing the rear brake pedal to detach from the motorcycle.
Risk
If the rear brake pedal detaches, the rider would only have the front brake to slow or stop the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the manufacturer will do
KTM will notify owners, and dealers will install and properly torque, a washer and new rear brake pedal mounting bolt with threadlocker, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact KTM customer service at 1-888-985-6090.
