- The defect
- KTM North America, Inc. (KTM) is recalling certain 2024 Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, 2024-2025 390 Duke, 2025 390 SMC R, 390 Enduro R, 390 Adventure X, and 390 Adventure R motorcycles. The engine control software may cause the engine to stall at low rpms, resulting in a loss of power.
- What it can cause
- A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- KTM and Husqvarna dealers will inspect the motorcycles and update the electronic control unit engine management system (ECU EMS) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 23, 2026. Owners may contact KTM customer service at 1-888-985-6090. The manufacturer's numbers for this recall are KTB2513 & HTB2508.
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 6,546 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 76% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Husqvarna vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling once before this, most recently in March 2016 as 16V124000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 8 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 11 complaints with NHTSA, 3 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 25V907000 (structure), 25V740000 (fuel system, gasoline).
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 December 1, 2025 as campaign 25V825000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
