Consumer Description

The brake light doesn't illuminate unless excessive brake pressure is used. During normal braking the light doesn't illuminate at all when using the front or rear brake. It is available for inspection upon request. My safety and safety of others has been put at risk because other motorists will not know that i'm braking since the light doesn't illuminate. The problem has been reproduced by me. The KTM dealer will not offer free diagnostics for this even though there have been two other brake recalls for this model. This has only been inspected by me and multiple other owners who hav encountered the same issue. There were no warnings or symptoms prior to the issue.
