Defect. KTM North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2022-2023 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, and 2022-2024 KTM 390 Adventure motorcycles. Water could enter the throttle (e-throttle) control unit and cause it to fail, resulting in loss of drive power.

My dealer service (Motor Cycle Center MCC, 443 E St Charles Rd B, Villa Park, IL 60181) scheduled Safety Recall Visit (approximate time - 30 min.) on June 12, at 11 am and still did not return my motorcycle. As for now, official answer is: "we should have an update for you tomorrow! " I talked multiple times to dealer, that I can provide motorcycle for Safety recall for 1 day only. But they called me 2 days straight in a raw and wanted to have it for service with "possible" same day return. There were 4 more motorcycles before mine on 2-nd waiting day... Today is 5-th day of holding my bike and no result... WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF SCHEDULING FOR THAT DEALER? Please help me to get my motorcycle back!

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.
