2020 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 Recalls & Complaints

The 2020 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 has 3 recalls, with the most serious being a fuel leak at the fuel level sensor and pump mounting area that raises the risk of fire near any ignition source.

The clutch slave cylinder can fail and leave the clutch inoperable, making the motorcycle difficult or impossible to control in traffic. There is also a structural concern: the gear teeth on the license plate holder and swingarm can be misaligned, which may allow the rear axle nut to work loose and let the license plate bracket contact the spinning rear wheel, raising the risk of a crash.
