Ktm Exc: Throttle May Not Return To Idle

KTM EXC Throttle Recall Summary KTM is recalling 2,936 EXC and SX motorcycles sold in the United Kingdom because a manufacturing defect in the throttle grip housing can cause the throttle cable to slip out of position and jam, preventing the throttle from returning to idle. This could result in the motorcycle becoming difficult or impossible to control while riding. KTM will replace the affected throttle housing components on recalled vehicles.

Recalling firm

KTM

Product

Vehicles: KTM EXC, KTM SX. Units affected: 2,936

Reason

Due to a production fault on the upper part of the throttle grip housing the throttle cable wire may slide out of the deflection roller and become wedged between the deflection roller and the housing. This blocks the throttle slide and may result in an uncontrollable riding situation. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the upper part of the hand throttle control housing the deflector roller and bronze bushing.
