Austrian motorcycle maker KTM has recalled the 2017 Duke 390 over a headlight issue. The defective headlight might lead to dangerous riding situations.
What are the defects?
1. The current Head Light Control Unit (HLU) software may cause the LED headlight to reboot while in operation.
2. The instrument dashboard may lose information or not display all information.
What are the hazards?
If the headlight control unit reboots this may lead to the headlight operation being affected as it may go off and on without warning, potentially causing dangerous riding situations for the rider and other road users.
What should consumers do?
Consumers will be contacted by direct mail. Consumers should contact an authorised KTM dealer to arrange an appointment for an inspection of their motorcycle where the software version of the vehicle Headlight Unit and Instrument cluster will be updated by authorised dealers free of charge.
