Ktm Exc: Fuel May Leak
KTM is recalling 4,008 EXC and SX motorcycles sold in the United Kingdom because the fuel cap may leak if not properly secured or if it gets knocked during off-road riding, which could spill fuel on the rider and engine. The manufacturer will replace the fuel cap with a new self-locking design to fix the problem.
