KTM and Husqvarna Motorcycles Recalled Over Throttle Issue
Some KTM and Husqvarna motorcycles are being recalled because something inside the throttle can get wet and stop working.
This could make the motorcycle lose power suddenly.
Over 9,000 bikes in the US are affected.
The problem is with the part that controls how much gas the engine gets.
These bikes were made between 2022 and 2024.
KTM is going to fix the problem by replacing the bad part with a new one that works better.
Owners in India are advised to be careful too since the throttle units were made there.
KTM North America issued a safety recall for over 9,000 motorcycles.
The recall affects KTM 390 Adventure and Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 models.
The issue involves a faulty electronic throttle assembly.
Moisture entering the throttle components causes electrical connection issues.
Affected motorcycles may experience sudden power loss while riding.
