News from KTM

November 20, 2007

KTM would like to announce an urgent safety warning to owners of certain Motocross and Enduro models advising them to have the tank cap exchanged at their earliest convenience. This Safety Warning covers the following models:

2006: 250 SX-F, 250 SXS-F, 250/300/450 XC, 300 XC-W, 450/525 EXC 2007: 125/144/250 SX, 125 SXS, 250/450/505 SX-F, 250/300/450/525 EXC, 250 EXC-F, 300 EXC-E, 200/250/300/450 XC, 250/450 XCF-W, 200/250/300/525 XC-W

Not all of these models were officially imported into the UK by KTM UK. However due to the nature of this announcement, owners of import bikes should also immediately exchange the tank cap free of charge at any authorised dealership.

Under certain circumstances it is possible that if customers do not properly secure the tank cap, it may open. This can result in a loss of fuel. The replacement tank cap is fitted with a special locking mechanism that prevents this problem.

In order to communicate this notice as quickly as possible, KTM UK would like to request the assistance of the off road motorcycle press, websites, clubs and Federations. All owners have the possibility to check online to see whether their vehicle is affected by the safety warning by going to the "Service" area of http://www.ktm.co.uk and entering the chassis number and delivery certificate number.
