KTM Recall Action:
control and
possible exchange of front wheel forks
Because of a possible defect in the inner tubes of the front wheel forks of some
models from the model year 09, KTM is recalling all of the affected motorcycles
to the company’s authorised workshops.
KTM thus initiates a control of the fork production date on the vehicles that may be
affected and a possible exchange of the front wheel fork. This is because the supplier
has not verified the heat treatment process of the inner tubes of the front wheel forks.
Customers are asked to make contact with an official KTM authorised workshop.
The date on both fork tubes will be verified by the official KTM workshops. If only one
of the fork tubes be seen to be manufactured during the time frame in question, both
will still be replaced. The exchange will be at no cost to the customer.
A specific number of a defined group of vehicles among the following models is
affected: Models 125/150 SX, 250 EXC, 250 EXC-F, 250 XCF-W, 250 XC-W, 300
EXC, 300 XC-W, 450 SMR, 690 Duke, 690 SMC, 990 SMR and 990 SMT all from the
model year 2009.
All owners of the models affected will also be directly contacted in writing by KTM. In
addition, there is also the possibility to check online whether a model is among those
affected. The information is accessible at
http://www.ktm.com under the section “Service”
after entering the chassis number and the delivery certificate number.
