Don’t forget the Husqvarna TR650 Strada and Terra, the two street-legal Huskys released in 2013 and 2014 but discontinued when BMW sold the brand? KTM hasn’t forgotten, but only because the firm got stuck with the process of recalling a motorcycle it never ever produced.
The TR650 models have been amongst the last new Husqvarnas released under BMW ownership. In fact, it was only just over 3 months right after we reviewed the Strada and Terra that BMW sold Husqvarna to Pierer Industries, KTM’s principal owner. As the TR650’s engine was based on the BMW G650‘s powerplant, the Strada and Terra were discontinued following the sale. Nonetheless, although KTM never produced the models and BMW still owns the rights to the engine style, it’s the Austrian manufacturer’s responsibility to handle a new recall on the TR650s.
According to the National Highway Visitors Security Administration, the 2013-2014 Husqvarna TR650 Strada and Terra might unexpectedly stall, creating a prospective for loss of handle and rising the danger of a crash. In a letter sent to NHTSA dated Feb. 23, KTM North America’s Vice President of Operations Robert Pearce says the lead to of the engine stalls is still under investigation, and the the business is working with BMW and fuel management program supplier Magneti Marelli to figure out the trigger and a answer for the difficulty. Other documents released by NHTSA say the investigation was still ongoing as of March 18.
Meanwhile, last summer season, BMW issued its personal recall for the 2013-2015 G650GS due to the fact it too seasoned stalling concerns. For the G650GS, BMW says the engine may possibly stall when the clutch lever is pulled in although idling simply because of a bug in the ECU computer software. That is most likely exactly where the investigation into the TR650’s issue begins.
KTM will alert owners after a remedy has been created. The recall impacts 1,015 units in the U.S.
