- The defect
- KTM North America, Inc. (KTM) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Husqvarna FE 501S, Husqvarna FE 350S, 2024 GasGas ES 350, and GasGas ES 500 motorcycles. During backwards rolling, the brake caliper may crack near the primary pin casting, which may cause the caliper to break when riding.
- What it can cause
- Cracks or breaks in the rear brake caliper can reduce braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealer will replace the rear brake caliper, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 2, 2026. Owners may contact KTM and Husqvarna customer service at 1-888-985-6090. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov July 15, 2026.
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 6,257 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 2022 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Husqvarna vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 3 times before this, most recently in February 2025 as 25V074000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 25V074000 (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 July 8, 2026 as campaign 26V443000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
