KTM America is recalling about 6,100 off-road motorcycles. The motorcycle handlebar clamp can develop cracks during normal use causing the handlebars to move from their set position. This can result in the rider losing control of the vehicle, posing a fall or crash hazard.
KTM received a report of one incident in which the consumer was hospitalized from injuries received in a crash after the handlebar clamps cracked and failed to secure the handlebars.
This recall involves all 2011 KTM and Husaberg off-road/competition motorcycles.
