Defect. KTM North America, Inc. (KTM) is recalling certain 2019-2023 Husqvarna and KTM motorcycles with equipped with TKC80 tires. Please refer to KTM's recall report for specific model details. Cracks longer than 3/16 inch may develop in the tread grooves. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires-Other Than Passenger Cars."

Risk. Cracks in the tread can lead to tread separation, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Dealers will replace the affected tires, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 16, 2022. Owners may contact KTM's customer service at 1-888-985-6090. KTM's numbers for this recall are KTB2208 and HTB2207.

Structure › Body
Filed Oct 17, 2025CO

The rear body fairings/panels do not correctly assemble together on this motorcycle, which leaves unintended gaps between the panels and insecure connections to each other and to the motorcycle. It seems that interference with the gas tank is preventing correct assembly.

Electrical System
Filed Apr 1, 2024MA

The emergency off switch, has shown in the owners manual, does not turn off a running engine. The switch stops the engine from cranking/starting only. Not sure if this is a defect or just a design change and the owners manual was not updated. I owned an older version of this bike and it worked as described.

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.
