The 2016 KTM 1290 Super Adventure has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a wiring harness that can fray and contact the ABS modulator, melting the brake line and causing brake failure.
A separate fuel system recall covers a leak at the fuel tank cover mounting area; fuel escaping near an ignition source raises the risk of fire. On the suspension side, the rear shock absorber can leak oil from the rebound damping plug, losing its ability to absorb bumps and affecting handling stability.
