Defect

Owners are advised to not ride their motorcycles until the repair has been performed. KTM North America, Inc. (KTM) is recalling certain 2022 Husqvarna FE 350s and Husqvarna FE 501s motorcycles. The brake pad retaining clips on the front brake caliper may have been mounted incorrectly, which could result in loose front brake pads.

Safety risk

Loose front brake pads can reduce braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and repair the brake pad retaining clips, as necessary, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed October 1, 2021. Owners may contact KTM customer service at 1-888-985-6090. KTM's number for this recall is HTB2108.
