Exterior Lighting

Filed Jun 6, 2023WA

My motorcycle developed a problem: while riding at a steady speed without any input (braking, steering, or accelerating/decelerating) ABS and TC lights come in and dash starts flashing message 'ABS failure'. The main issue: the above-mentioned problem also causes turn signals to malfunction - they would self-cancel after few flashes (13-17) which compromises my safety as it can confuse cars behind me. I have notified KTM about the problem (case CS0462825) but they were unhelpful and simply close the case.

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.
