What are the defects?

The preload force of the return spring located in the front brake cylinder may not meet specifications. This can result in the brake piston not being returned to its original position, which can impair the function of the front brake and result in a loss of brake performance.

What are the hazards?

Reduced brake performance can increase the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to the rider and other road users.

What should consumers do?

Consumers have been contacted by KTM Australia and their authorised dealers. Authorised dealers will replace the return spring with a new improved version, free of charge.

For further information, consumers can contact KTM Australia on 1800 644 771 or find their nearest authorised dealer using the dealer search option at https://www.ktm.com/au
