NHTSA 12V531000- The defect
- KTM North America, Inc.'s (KTM) is recalling certain model year 2012 and 2013 350 EXC-F and 500 EXC motorcycles manufactured from September 2011 through August 2012. Due to the supplier's manufacturing inconsistencies, the preformed fuel hoses may develop cracks or holes at either end. During use, the fuel hoses, located between the fuel tank and the throttle body fuel rail, may allowing fuel to leak.
- The risk
- The fuel may leak onto the rear tire while the motorcycle is being ridden, increasing the risk of a crash. It is also possible that, in the presence of an ignition source, a fire can occur.
- The fix
- KTM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective fuel hoses free of charge. The safety recall began on December 11, 2012. Owners may contact KTM Customer relations at 1-888-985-6090.

Checking your own motorcycle
A recall applies to a range of VINs, not to every 2013 Ktm 500 Exc built. To confirm whether yours is affected, find the 17-character VIN, stamped on the steering head, just behind the headlight, and on the frame label, and enter it in NHTSA's official lookup.
Repairs for safety recalls are free and never expire. A dealer cannot charge you, and cannot refuse on the grounds that the motorcycle is old or out of warranty. If one does, call the NHTSA hotline on 1-888-327-4236.
