Plain-English summary

KTM North America is recalling approximately 1,300 Enduro motorcycles sold in the United States. The recall covers specific 2013 and 2012 model year off-road and closed-course motorcycles, including the 250 XC-F, 250 XCF-W, 350 XC-F, 350 XCF-W, 450 XC-F, 450 XC-W, 500 XC-W, and the 2012 350 XCF-W. These motorcycles were sold at authorized KTM dealers nationwide from October 2011 through September 2012 for between $8,500 and $9,600.

The recall is due to a defect in the pre-formed fuel hose, which can develop small holes or cracks at the ends. This allows fuel to leak, creating a fire and crash hazard for the rider and others. KTM has received 13 reports of fuel leaks, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled motorcycles and contact a KTM authorized dealer to schedule a free repair. For more information, consumers can call KTM North America Inc. toll-free at (888) 985-6090 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.ktmusa.com.
