KTM recalls selected 2016 250s
By Team TMX on 15th Jun 16
Hot on the heels of last weeks Husqvarna recall of an unspecified number of its 2016 FC 250 motocross model, KTM has followed suit.
Specific frame numbers of the Austrian marque's 2016 250 SX-F and 250 SX-F Factory Edition models will need to be taken to the workshops of authorised KTM dealers for a complete crankshaft replacement.
Just as with the affected Husqvarnas, the problem has been traced to quality deviations in the manufacturing process of the connecting rod that could result in early failure.
Owners of affected machines are being informed in writing and can check online in the service area of the KTM website to determine if their motorcycle is affected by this recall.
Replacement crankshaft work will be carried out at no cost to owners but must be performed by an authorised
KTM dealer.
