Vehicle Speed Control

Filed Apr 25, 2025UT

When driving bike it randomly looses throttle control. Generally while cruising in 5-6 gear on a highway. The bike remains running, but all ability to use the throttle is gone. Happens almost every ride. Extremely dangerous when it happens on a freeway or highway. Contacted Husqvarna and they referred me back to my local dealer, local dealer does not know how to fix this problem. In my online searches this is a very common problem. Please help!

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
