KTM recalls 1920 Super Duke R

KTM has commenced a global recall of selected 2014 1290 Super Duke R models of which 248 examples in the UK are affected. 

Due to deviations in manufacturing processes, an internal overflow pipe within the motorcycle’s fuel tank may not be completely enclosed within its plastic sheath. This could result in fuel penetrating a threaded insert and fuel leaking in small quantities, says KTM UK.

All UK owners will be contacted in writing for remedial work to be carried at their local KTM dealer at no cost, says KTM UK, adding that it regrets inconvenience to the customer.

Owners can check if their motorcycle is affected by contacting their local authorised KTM dealer and quoting the last 6 digits of their VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
