Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.
0
Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

During the course of quality controls, KTM North America, Inc. has found that on select 2017 1090 ADVENTURE R models there is a possibility that the tail light could have a lower current draw than required. This could cause a tail light failure message to appear on the instrument cluster. To aid in preventing this failure message, replacement of the tail light is necessary.

TB1802

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Due to market feedback, KTM North America, Inc. has found that on the select models listed above there is a possibility that the fuel filters and/or fuel pump motor could cause a lower than recommended fuel pressure which could decrease the performance of the engine. To aid in preventing a fuel pressure decrease, a replacement kit for the fuel pump has been specially developed consisting of new seals, gaskets, filters and pump motor to stabilize and maintain recommended operating fuel pressure.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
