MAY 2011 --
KTM is recalling certain
model year 2010 and 2011
motorcycles manufactured
from November 2009 through
November 23, 2010. Due to
improper heat treatment, the
handlebar clamps can develop
cracks, allowing the
handlebar to move from its
set position. Unexpected
movement of the handlebar
may cause the driver to
crash, possibly resulting in
injury or death to the rider
or others. Authorized KTM
dealers will replace the
defective clamps free of
charge. The safety recall is
expected to begin during
June 2011. 11V-300
MARCH
2009 -- KTM is
recalling 237 MY 2009 690
Duke and SMC motorcycles.
During use, the front forks
could develop cracks; this
could result in the
possibility of the front
fork inner tube separating
from the axle clamp. The
cause of the defect involves
improper heat treatment of
the front fork inner tubes
by the manufacturer.
Subsequently this
could lead to loss of
control and a crash possibly
with injury or death to the
rider or others. Dealers
will inspect and replace the
front fork tubes free of
charge . The recall is
expected to begin during May
2009. Owners may contact KTM
