I RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL # 18V033 IN REGARDS TO THIS VEHICLE. KTM HAS FAILED TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM IN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME. THE RECALL NOTICE WAS DATED ON 2/23/2018. ADDITIONALLY, BREMBO ANNOUNCED THE PROBLEM ON 1/8/2018. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ORDERED THE PARTS AS SOON AS THEY COULD, BUT THEY HAVE YET TO COME IN. THERE IS NOT AN ESTIMATED TIME FRAME FOR WHEN THE PARTS WILL ARRIVE TO ALLOW FOR THE REPAIR. GIVEN THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN MADE 5 WEEKS AFTER THE NOTICE AND 12 WEEKS AFTER THE INITIAL IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM, KTM HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER.

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.
