Reported: 2025-09-11 (September 11, 2025)
KTM North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2022-2023 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, and 2022-2024 KTM 390 Adventure motorcycles. Water could enter the throttle (e-throttle) control unit and cause it to fail, resulting in loss of drive power.
Consequence: Loss of drive power while riding increases the risk of a crash or injury.
Remedy: KTM and Husqvarna dealers will inspect and replace the e-throttle control, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 30, 2026. Owners may contact KTM customer service at 1-888-985-6090. KTM's number for this recall is KTB2606 and HTB2603. The VINs involved in this recall became searchable on March 31, 2026.

When throttle gets wet, it will cause the engine rpm to drop dramatically or even stall. You have to come to a complete stop, shut off everything including key and kill switch, then restart. KTM is aware of this but has delayed for several months sending out replacement parts even though they sent a letter notifying me that it was a recall. Your system doesn't show any recalls when there is. KTM needs to send out parts now and your system needs to acknowledge and list this recall.
I purchased a 2024 KTM 390 Adventure on June 21, 2025 and within 1/4 mile of driving it away from the dealership my throttle completely cut out as I was merging into traffic. The bike had 2 miles on it and was brand new. I turned the key to the bike off and back on after I was sitting in the bike lane of the road. I started the bike back up and was able to make it another mile down the road when my throttle completely cut out as I was making a left turn through an intersection. I rode the bike immediately back to the dealership and explained th…
TFT Speedometer gets severe condensation under normal operating conditions making it unsafe to operate the motorcycle and almost caused me an accident on multiple rides in the mountains. This puts the safety of myself and others at risk as I'm not able to read any potential safety information in my dash like speed, gear, traction control, gas mileage, and any electrical failures. 5" TFT dash speedometer (instrument cluster) gets severe condensation under it when operating under normal conditions. This is very dangerous as it can get so bad tha…
