2022 Husqvarna Fe 501s

The 2022 Husqvarna FE 501S has 4 recalls, all rated at the same severity level, with the most critical concerns centered on the front brake system, where failures can eliminate stopping power entirely.

Two separate brake recalls address the front caliper. In one, the brake pad retaining clips may have been mounted incorrectly, leaving the pads loose or able to detach from the caliper entirely, which reduces how much braking force the front wheel can generate. In the other, the caliper body itself can develop cracks around the upper guide pin and break apart, causing a complete loss of front brake function. Because both of these issues affect the front brake's ability to stop the motorcycle, the manufacturer has advised owners not to ride until repairs have been completed. The fourth recall involves the TKC80 tires fitted to certain models: cracks longer than 3/16 inch can develop in the tread grooves, and if those cracks grow, the tread can separate from the tire while riding, causing sudden loss of traction and control.
