KTM Recalls 2024 Duke Bikes Over Issue With Tank Cap Seals: Is Yours Affected?

KTM Recall: KTM has announced a voluntary recall of the 2024 iterations of its 125, 250, 390, and 990 Duke motorcycles. The move comes as part of a broader global recall involving the same Duke bikes. According to the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer, the recall is linked to defective fuel tank cap seals across the models mentioned before. 

KTM Recall: Observations After Internal Quality Analysis

KTM conducted quality analysis and found that some fuel tank cap seals may not fully meet the brand's quality standards. 'Due to material deviations, small cracks could develop in the seal, which may lead to the possibility of fuel leakage from the tank cap area,' the recall statement read. To address the issue, KTM will replace the tank cap seal on all affected motorcycles, reflecting the brand's commitment to ensuring safety and product quality.
