2022 Husqvarna Fe 501s Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2022 Husqvarna FE 501S has 4 recalls, all centered on the front brakes: brake pad retaining clips may be mounted incorrectly, and the front brake caliper itself can crack, either of which can cause a significant loss of stopping power.

A stop-ride advisory is in effect for the brake pad issue, meaning riders are advised not to ride until the repair is completed. Incorrectly mounted clips can allow the brake pads to come loose or detach entirely from the front caliper, reducing or eliminating front braking. Separately, the caliper body can crack near the upper guide pin, which can cause the front brake to fail outright. There is also a tire concern: the TKC80 tires fitted to certain models can develop cracks longer than 3/16 inch in the tread grooves, which can lead to tread separation while riding.
