The 2013 KTM 1190 Adventure has 2 recalls, both centered on the same brake failure risk: a fraying wiring harness can contact the ABS modulator and conduct electricity through the brake line, causing it to overheat and melt.
If the brake line melts, the rider loses braking ability, raising the risk of a crash. Both recalls describe this same underlying defect, and the remedy involves addressing the electrical connection between the wiring harness and the ABS modulator before the brake line is damaged.

A frayed wiring harness can contact the ABS brake modulator, allowing electrical current to flow through the brake line. This overheats and melts the brake line, causing brake system failure.
What the fix does
Dealers will inspect the wiring harness and reposition it away from the ABS modulator.
