KTM Recalls Certain ADV Models Over Possible Issues
North
America, Inc. has determined that a defect which relates to motor
vehicle safety exists in certain model year 2013-2016
1190 Adventure, 2013-2016 1190
Adventure R, and 2015-2016
Super Adventure model motorcycles. To ensure the highest level
of safety, performance, reliability and customer satisfaction, it
is necessary to have the wiring harness inspected, repositioned,
and secured in the area by the ABS modulator.
This must be performed by an authorized KTM Dealer and will be free
of charge. On affected models, it has been determined that there is
a possibility of an electrical connection being created via the
brake line between the ABS modulator and vehicle ground. For this
to occur the wiring harness must be frayed and must be in contact
with the ABS modulator and the brake line must be electrically
conductive. A conductive brake line can overheat and melt which can
result in failure of the brake system circuit. This could lead to
an accident which could cause injury or death to
the rider or others.
The
cause of the defect is due to possible improper routing of the
wiring harness in the area of the ABS modulator during the assembly
process. To remedy this defect, the wiring harness must be
inspected, repositioned and secured in the area of the
ABS modulator.
Please contact your authorized KTM Dealer (log onto www.ktmusa.com for a complete dealer
listing) as soon as possible to arrange having your wiring harness
inspected, repositioned and secured. It is suggested that you call
your local authorized KTM Dealer to make an appointment to have
your wiring harness inspected, repositioned and secured. Please
present a copy of this letter along with your motorcycle to your
local authorized KTM dealer. There will be no charge for this
service.
