KTM North America recalls off-road motorcycles
- May 11, 2009 1:56 PM

The front fork inner tube on a number of off-road motorcycles manufactured by Amherst, Ohio-based KTM North America Inc. can crack and separate from the fork axle, posing a risk of injury or death to the operator.
No injuries have been reported, but the company is recalling the vehicles as a precautionary measure.
Affected models include the 125SX, 150SX, 250XC-W and 300XC-W models in black and orange.
The units were sold from December 2008 up until April 2009 for between $6,000 and $8,000.
Consumers should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact their local KTM dealer to schedule a free repair.
