5 recalls across 2 model years
The KTM 1290 Super Adventure has 5 recalls covering the 2015-2016 model years, with the most serious being a wiring harness on 2015-2016 motorcycles that can fray and contact the ABS modulator, melting the brake line and causing brake failure.
Two separate fuel leak recalls also affect these motorcycles. On 2015 models, a manufacturing defect in the fuel tank can allow fuel to escape, and on both 2015-2016 models, fuel can leak from the fuel tank cover mounting insert area. In either case, fuel near an ignition source creates a fire risk. The rear shock absorber on 2015-2016 models can leak oil from the rebound damping plug, causing the shock to lose function and the motorcycle to handle unpredictably.
