What began as a recall for a brake problem issued for Husqvarna and GASGAS dual sport models back in February, has now been officially announced to also impact a large number of off-road motorcycles. This comes as little surprise, considering the widespread technology sharing across all brands owned by Pierer Mobility under the KTM AG umbrella. 

The new recall filed by KTM North America, affects over 20,000 Husqvarna and GASGAS dirt bikes from model years 2022-2025 for the same issue that plagued the dual sport units — a defective front brake caliper. 

According to the new report filed with the Consumer Product Safety Commission the front brake caliper can crack, dangerously reducing the braking system’s effectiveness. The recall affects about 19,310 units in the United States and around 3,870 in Canada.

Models Affected:

The recall (# 25-283) advises owners to immediately stop riding affected motorcycles and contact an authorized GASGAS or Husqvarna dealer to schedule a free inspection and free repair at the dealership. It is necessary to have the front brake caliper inspected by an authorized dealer to determine if it is defective or not defective. The notice also states that KTM/GASGAS and Husqvarna Mobility are contacting all known owners directly.

Owners can check the vehicle identification number or VIN at husqvarna.com or www.gasgas.com to determine if their motorcycle is part of the recall.
