KTM Australia issues another recall for 2021

KTM Australia has issued its 11th and 12th recalls so far this year, this time for a range of GasGas and Husqvarna motorcycles it imports into the country.

The issue affects 1277 GasGas EC 250, EC 300, EC 250F and EC 350F bikes from 2020 – 2021 and 1512 Husky FE (capacity – 250 , 350 , 450 , 501) and TE ( capacity 150i , 250i , 300i) bikes from 2020-2021.

The latest official safety recall notices, issued through the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, replace previous recalls for the same brake issue.

“If the current locking split pins used for mounting and securing the brake pad holding bracket in the front and rear caliper are fitted incorrectly or in the wrong direction the locking pins can come out and no longer secure the brake pad holding bracket,” the notices say.

“This can cause the brake pad holding bracket to become detached resulting in a loss of braking performance.

“A reduction or loss in breaking performance could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to the rider and/or passenger or other road users.”

Owners should contact their authorised dealers “ASAP to make an appointment to have the recall performed free of charge”.

Harley Oz recalls old Sportsters over brake issue

Harley-Davidson Australia has recalled their 2003-05 Sportster XL883R and XL1200R models over an issue with the front brakes.

It is their first recall notice issued for 2021.

The official government notice says the brake light may remain illuminated when the front brakes are not applied.

“If this occurs the traffic behind the vehicle will be unable to identify whether the motorcycle is actually braking,” the notice says.

“This may lead to an accident causing injury or death to the rider and/or passenger and/or other road users.”

Owners of the 74 affected motorcycles whose VINs are listed below should contact their nearest Harley-Davidson Australia dealer immediately and arrange an appointment to have the master cylinder rebuilt free of charge.

Yamaha recalls Bolt over oil leak issue

Yamaha Australia has recalled their 2020 – 2021 Bolt cruiser (xvs950) due to an issue with oil leaking from the crankcase.

The official government notice blames the manufacturing issue for the leak in the engine crankcase.

It says “oil may leak on to the road and come in contact with the rear tyre”.

“This could result in a loss of control of the vehicle,” the notice says.

“A loss of vehicle control increases the risk of an accident, which may cause injury or death to rider and/or passenger or other road users.

Owners of the 26 affected motorcycles can contact their local Yamaha Dealer to make an appointment to have their model inspected and fixed free of charge.

KTM recalls all LC4 models

KTM Australia has recalled all LC4-powered 690 models from 2018 to 2020 over a clutch issue.

Owners have been asked to book their bikes into the workshops of authorised KTM dealers for an inspection and possible free replacement of the clutch slave cylinder.

“Damage to the seal caused by deviations in assembly may impair the function of the clutch slave cylinder,” the official notice issued through the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and says.

“All components of the version with a bellow gasket must therefore be replaced with the  new version without a bellow gasket.

“If the clutch fails to disengage it could result in a loss of motorcycle control increasing the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to the rider and/or passenger or bystanders.” 

Customers with affected motorcycles have been advised by letter, but those who have bought the bikes second-hand in a private sale may not yet be aware.

The recall affects 576 motorcycles including the 690 Enduro R and 690 SMC R.

It follows a July recall of KTM motorcycles over an issue with the engine locking.

It’s not been a good year for KTM with four other recalls so far which is more than any other manufacturer.

Honda and KTM lead on safety recalls

The first half of 2021 has witnessed a significant number of motorcycle safety recalls with Honda and KTM the most prolific.

In the first quarter of 2021, there were 13 recalls, but the rate accelerated in May with 10 recalls and two in June, bringing the first half total to 25.

Perhaps as riders are coming out of lockdown around the world and riding again, they are discovering issues with their bikes which result in official recall notices.

KTM Australia has issued nine recalls, although some have been for the same issues across all the brands they import which also includes GasGas and Husqvarna.

Honda follows with nine recall notices. Its most recent affects 2981 motorcycles and covers an extensive range from the Grom to the 650 models.

Ducati and Yamaha had three recalls in the first half of the year, BMW, Kawasaki and Suzuki had two each and Triumph had one.

The latest official safety recall notices, issued through the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, are for 2020 BMW S 1000 RR and various Honda models.

Honda’s notice says the reflex reflector may not comply with the Australian Design Rule (ADR) 47 for reflection luminosity.

“If the reflector has insufficient luminosity, affected motorcycles may be less visible to drivers of other vehicles, which could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death of the rider and/or other road users,” the notice says.

Models affected are:

  • 2019 GROM(L) Z125M (pictured top of page)
  • 2019-21 CB500X, CB650R, CBR500R and CBR650R
  • 2020 C125AL, CRF250L-LA and CRF250R (Rally)
  • 2021 CB500F and CMX500A2
  • 2019-21 CMX500A

The BMW S 1000 RR notice says the screw plug in the rocker arm was not sufficiently tightened during manufacturing. 

“As a result, oil may leak from the affected bolting points,” the notice says.

“An oil leak may affect the rear tyre. If this occurs it will result in a reduction in traction for the wheel and increase the risk of an accident resulting in injury or death to the rider and/or passenger or other road users.”

Owners of affected bikes should contact their dealer and arrange for a free inspection and repair if needed.

Recall: 2021 Ducati Multistrada V4

Ducati Australia has recalled all 2021 Multistrada V4 models over valve issues in the V4 engine which has now been at the centre of six recalls since its launch in 2018.

The latest recall, issued through the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission says the engine’s valve guides “may experience excessive, premature wear, and become damaged over time”.

“If the engine valve guide becomes damaged, the expected acceleration and responsiveness from the engine may be suddenly reduced, and the vehicle’s ability to accelerate or manoeuvre may not meet the rider’s expectations,” the notice says.

“This could increase the risk of an accident and injury to the rider, passenger or bystanders.”

Honda recall Fireblade over suspension issue

“If the connecting plate breaks, the vehicle may drop in height suddenly, increasing the risk of an accident and injury or death to rider(s) and other road users,” the notice says.

Honda recall over chain issue on Aussie dirt bikes

The last thing you want when you are riding a bush trail is for the chain to come off the rear sprocket.

That is why Honda Australia has issued an official recall for their current model CRF450R dirt bike range.

The notice, issued through the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, blames the issue on a manufacturing fault.

It says the bike’s chain joining link may dislodge which can “cause the chain to detach from the rear sprocket”.

“If the drive chain detaches, the motorcycle may experience loss in vehicle control,” the notice says.

“This can increase the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to the rider and bystanders.”

Owners are asked to contact their nearest Honda motorcycle dealer and arrange for their motorcycle to be inspected and repaired free “at their earliest opportunity”.

Ducati recalls XDiavel and Scrambler 1100

Ducati Australia has issued two separate recall notices this week for their XDiavel, XDiavel S and Scrambler 1100 models for issues with side stands and electrics.

In the first notice, issued through the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, X Diavel and XDiavel S models made from 2016 to 2018, the side stand mounting bracket may become damaged.

“The side stand may fail when the motorcycle is parked,” the notice says.

“If this occurs, the motorcycle may fall over, which could increase the risk of injury to the rider and passenger, or bystanders.”

That’s not good for a motorcycle costing more than $30,000.

Some 182 Scrambler 1100 models sold from April 2018 to January 2021, have an issue with the exhaust cable coming into contact with the battery positive cable, according to the official ACCC notice.

“If the two cables make contact with each other, there will be an electrical short causing a potential fire risk, increasing the risk of an accident and injury to the rider, passenger and/or bystanders,” it says.

“In the event of a serious accident, this may result in death.”

Owners of the above models will be notified in writing to contact their closest Ducati dealer or service agent and arrange an appointment for the respective cables to be rearranged, free of charge.

For further information, consumers can contact an authorised Ducati dealer or email [email protected]

Yamahas recalled on faulty brake switch

The official recall notice issued through the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission says the faulty brake switch could “inhibit the cruise control and constantly illuminate the rear brake lights”.

“If the rear brake lights constantly illuminate, other road users will not know if the brakes are applied, increasing the risk of an accident or injury or death to the rider(s) and/or other road users.”

Owners of affected motorcycles should contact a Yamaha Dealer to arrange an appointment to have the brake switch replaced, free of charge.
