The 2014 KTM 1290 Super Duke R has 2 recalls, both addressing the same fuel tank defect where threaded inserts at the rear of the tank can leak fuel and, near any ignition source, create a fire risk.
The leak originates at the fittings that secure an internal overflow pipe to the tank. Fuel escaping from those fittings can pool near hot engine components or other ignition sources, raising the risk of fire and potential injury or property damage.
