RECALL ACTION KTM 990 SUPER DUKE!
KTM has called on some owners of the 990 Super Duke from the model year 2006 to contact an official KTM authorised dealer to arrange an exchange of the front wheel brake linings.
In individual cases, the occurrence of corrosion can lead to part of the friction lining becoming detached from the carrier plate of the brake linings in the Brembo braking system built into the Super Duke. Only a restricted number of motorcycles from the model year 2006 are affected. The chassis numbers concerned are not sequential. KTM is contacting in writing all owners of a KTM Super Duke on which the brake linings must be changed. In addition all Super Duke owners have the chance to check online whether their machine is affected by the recall. The information can be located in the service" area of www.ktm.com, after the chassis number or the delivery certificate number has been entered. Even though there has been no known problem on the market, KTM appeals to all owners of a 990 Super Duke within the numbers affected to arrange to exchange the brake linings as soon as possible. Since the brake lining manufacturer immediately changed the production method of the brake linings, later models or other models of the 990 Super Duke - are not affected by the recall action. Any further questions from customers concerning the recall action can be answered by authorised KTM dealers.
