KTM recalls four models due to side stand spring

During quality controls, it was found that engine vibrations under certain circumstances can lead to the breakage of the side stand spring, the company reported on Monday. The potential issue exclusively affects forged side stands and does not impact other types of side stands.

KTM Recall: Customers Will Be Notified by Letter

Customers should have the side stand spring replaced and a rubber protector installed by an authorized KTM dealer. To safely drive to the dealer, KTM advises securing the side stand with a rubber band or a similar solution. For certain vehicles, a new retaining plate for the side stand sensor will also be installed during the workshop visit.

Customers will be notified by letter and asked to schedule an appointment with an authorized KTM dealer. The measure will be carried out free of charge there. Information on affected motorcycles and a complete dealer list can be found under "Service" on the official KTM website https://www.ktm.com/de-at/service/Safety.html.
