Plain-English summary

KTM North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014 690 Enduro R motorcycles manufactured between October 2013 and April 2014. The recall affects 649 vehicles in the United States.

In the affected motorcycles, the rear brake pedal mounting bolt may loosen, allowing the rear brake pedal to detach from the motorcycle. If the rear brake pedal detaches, the rider would only have the front brake to slow or stop the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.

KTM will notify owners, and dealers will install and properly torque a washer and new rear brake pedal mounting bolt with threadlocker, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact KTM customer service at 1-888-985-6090 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
