Consumer Description
The gas tank on this KTM RC390 is leaking from the welds holding on the ECU bracket. This bike only has 2000mi and after researching online, this is a known issue with at least 15 others experiencing the same problem. This is a serious problem as gas leaks down the bike near the motor which could easily cause a fire if not caught right away. It seems this is a quality issue as the bike has very low mileage and the leak started without notice. I have attached pictures of the leak and where it travels downward to the hot engine. I have contacted multiple KTM dealerships and none were aware of an active recall but strongly suggested that the bike needed one for this issue. It could be catastrophic for some that have the same leak while riding.
