Ktm 990 Superduke: Sticking Of One Way Valve In Engine Ventilation System
KTM 990 SUPERDUKE Recall Summary KTM is recalling 177 units of the 990 SUPERDUKE motorcycle because a one-way valve in the engine ventilation system may become stuck. If this happens, pressure can build up in the engine's crankcase, potentially causing oil seals to fail and oil to leak onto the wheels and tires. KTM will rework the crankcase breather valve to a new specification to fix the issue.
