The 2017 KTM 1290 Super Duke GT has 3 recalls, with the most serious being a front brake master cylinder piston that can fail and cause a significant or complete loss of front braking power, raising the risk of a crash.
The fuel system carries a risk as well. The preformed fuel hose can develop small cracks or holes, allowing fuel to leak onto hot engine components or near other ignition sources. A fuel leak in that environment raises the risk of fire. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why this defect appears across more than one recall campaign for this motorcycle.
