Ktm Exc: Piston Rod May Detach
Recall Summary KTM is recalling approximately 1,900 EXC and XC dirt bikes because their front forks may not have been assembled correctly, which could cause knocking noises and reduce damping performance. If not addressed, this could damage the fork internally and cause it to seize. The remedy involves removing the fork cap and checking that the locking nut is properly tightened.
