Alta Motors is recalling 215 model year 2019 Alta Redshift EXR and model year v2018-2019 Alta Redshift MXR motorcycles.

The software for the throttle control may fault if the throttle is rolled forward past the closed position, possibly resulting in a motorcycle stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Alta will notify owners, and dealers will install an update for the throttle software, free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin in August 2018.

Owners may contact Alta customer service at 1-415-230-0755. Alta's number for this recall is SVC-ESB-18-004.
