The 2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 has three recalls, the most serious being a fuel leak at the fuel level sensor and fuel pump mounting area that raises the risk of fire if the leaked fuel contacts an ignition source.
The clutch slave cylinder can also fail, leaving the rider unable to disengage the clutch. Without a working clutch, the rider loses the ability to shift gears cleanly or pull away from a stop, which raises the risk of a crash. There is also a structural concern involving the license plate holder: incorrectly positioned gear teeth on the holder and swingarm can allow the rear axle nut to work loose, causing the license plate bracket to contact the spinning rear wheel and potentially destabilizing the bike.
