The defect
KTM North America, Inc. (KTM) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Husqvarna FE 350s, FE 501s, and 2024-2025 GASGAS ES 350 and ES 500 motorcycles. The front brake caliper may crack in the area around the upper guide pin.
What it can cause
A broken front brake caliper can cause a loss of front brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the dealer does
Dealers will inspect and replace the front brake caliper, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 11, 2025. Owners may contact KTM customer service at 1-888-985-6090.
NHTSA's note
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.

Which vehicles

A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares

At 5,116 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 74% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.

Husqvarna vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 2 times before this, most recently in January 2022 as 22V014000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 26V443000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 22V588000 (tires), 22V014000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 21V678000 (service brakes, hydraulic).

Check your own car

A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.

Filed by KTM North America, Inc. with NHTSA on February 7, 2025 as campaign 25V074000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
