KTM Recalls — Canada & USA

KTM has 40 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 2000 through 2025. Across those models, 77 recall campaigns are recorded, and the severity distribution is notably concentrated at the top of the scale: 82% of campaigns carry a Critical rating and 14% carry a High rating, meaning 96% of all KTM recalls fall into the two most serious tiers under the severity rating system. Critical recalls in the motorcycle context typically involve defects that can lead to loss of vehicle control, brake failure, fuel leaks, or fire risk, all with the potential for serious injury or death to the rider.

The 1290 Super Duke R carries the highest recall count in the lineup at 8 campaigns, followed closely by the 690 Enduro R at 7 and the 1290 Super Adventure at 5. The remaining 37 models account for the balance of the 77 total campaigns, with Medium-rated recalls representing just 3 of those, and no Low or Informational recalls recorded at all. That distribution reflects a recall profile where essentially every campaign logged against these motorcycles involves a defect category associated with crash risk, fire risk, or other outcomes that could directly harm the rider or others nearby.
