2013 KTM 350 Recalled for Fuel Leak Fire Risk |
Summary: KTM
North America, Inc.'s (KTM) is recalling certain model year 2012 and
2013 350 EXC-F and 500 EXC motorcycles manufactured from September 2011
through August 2012. Due to the supplier's manufacturing
inconsistencies, the preformed fuel hoses may develop cracks or holes at
either end. During use, the fuel hoses, located between the fuel tank
and the throttle body fuel rail, may allowing fuel to leak.
Consequence: The
fuel may leak onto the rear tire while the motorcycle is being ridden,
increasing the risk of a crash. It is also possible that, in the
presence of an ignition source, a fire can occur.
