What happened

KTM North America is recalling seven 2013 model and one 2012 model off-road and closed-course motorcycles due to a fuel leak hazard. The pre-formed fuel hose in these motorcycles can develop small holes or cracks at the ends during use, which allows fuel to leak and creates a fire and crash hazard to riders and others. The affected models are the 2013 KTM 250 XC-F, 250 XCF-W, 350 XC-F, 350 XCF-W, 450 XC-F, 450 XC-W, and 500 XC-W, as well as the 2012 KTM 350 XCF-W. These black and orange motorcycles can be identified by the model number printed on the rear fender just below the tail end of the seat and by KTM branding on the front number plate and fuel tank shrouds.

According to the recall notice, consumers who own one of these motorcycles should immediately stop using it and contact a KTM authorized dealer to schedule a free repair.
