Recall 21V-304: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Apr 30, 2021 · 3,707 vehicles affected · KTM North America, Inc.

Problem: KTM North America, Inc. (KTM) is recalling certain 2019-2020 KTM 790 Adventure and 790 Adventure R, and 2020 KTM 790 Adventure R Rally motorcycles. The front brake master cylinder piston return spring may be too weak to return the brake piston to its original position, reducing the functionality of the front brake.
