5 recalls across 2 model years
The KTM 1290 Super Adventure has 5 recalls, all covering 2015-2016 model years, with the most serious being a wiring harness that can fray and contact the ABS modulator, melting the brake line and causing brake failure with no warning while riding.
Two separate fuel system recalls also affect these motorcycles. On 2015-2016 models, fuel can leak from the area around the fuel tank cover mounting insert, and on 2015 models an additional manufacturing defect can cause the fuel tank itself to leak. In both cases, leaking fuel near an ignition source raises the risk of fire.
The rear suspension on 2015-2016 models has a recall for a rear shock absorber that can leak oil from the rebound damping plug. As oil escapes, the shock loses its ability to absorb bumps and control the rear wheel, which can make the motorcycle unstable and difficult to handle.
