NHTSA Complaint #11331598 — 2019 KTM 790 ADVENTURE R

WARPED FRONT ROTORS CAUSE STRONG PULSING WHEN FRONT BRAKE APPLIED WHICH IS DESTABILIZING WHEN ON CURVY MOUNTAIN ROADS OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SUDDEN BRAKING REQUIRED. FRONT ROTORS WARPED WITH 1200 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND KTM REFUSED TO REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY SAYING THIS IS A "WEAR ITEM". ROTOR THICKNESS IS WEAR BUT WARPING IS NOT WEAR, ESPECIALLY ON A NEW BIKE. HAVING DONE MORE RESEARCH ONLINE SINCE MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO GET ROTORS REPLACED LAST YEAR, I SEE IT HAS AFFECTED NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS, SOME OF WHICH HAVE SUCCESSFULLY HAD ROTORS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY OTHERS NOT. I BROUGHT INTO DEALER AGAIN LAST MONTH TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REPLACE BUT AGAIN WAS REFUSED. NOT SURE WHY SOME DEALERS / OWNERS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL GETTING WARRANTY DONE BUT SEEM LIKE A KNOWN ISSUE TO KTM AND SHOULD BE RECALL. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THE MATTER
