Ktm Duke: Brakes May Fail
KTM is recalling 979 Duke motorcycles because a damaged wiring harness near the ABS modulator could create an electrical connection that overheats the brake line, potentially melting it and causing brake system failure. The recall affects motorcycles distributed in the United Kingdom. Dealers will install a ground wire on the ABS modulator, inspect the wiring harness for damage, and secure the harness to the frame.

- Product
- Vehicles: KTM DUKE. Units affected: 979
- Reason
- Contact may occur between the wiring harness and the ABS modulator. An electrical connection may be created via the brake line between the ABS modulator and the vehicle ground. For this to occur the wiring harness must be frayed and must be in contact with the ABS modulator and the brake line must be electrically conductive. A conductive brake line can overheat and ultimately melt which can result in failure of a brake system circuit. Remedy: On affected machines screw ground wire onto the ABS modulator and fasten ground wire on the frame. Check the wiring harness for visible damage around...
