KTM has announced a global recall for several of its popular bike models manufactured between 2024 and 2026. The recall focuses on the Engine Control Unit (ECU), which requires an urgent software update to enhance rider safety and improve bike performance.
The recall covers models including the KTM 390 Duke (2024–2026), KTM 390 Enduro R (2025–2026), KTM 390 SMC R (2025–2026), KTM 390 Adventure R (2025–2026), and KTM 390 Adventure X (2025–2026). Many of these models, especially the 390 Duke and Adventure series, enjoy strong demand in India.
KTM has reported instances where the engine stalls during low RPM or deceleration, although such cases are rare. Prioritizing rider safety, the company has decided to address the issue proactively without taking any risks.
The updated ECU software is designed to significantly reduce the chance of engine stalls and improve low-end torque. This will enhance bike stability and rideability, thereby boosting rider confidence and safety.
KTM has confirmed that the ECU software update will be provided free of cost.
Owners can check if their bike is part of the recall by visiting the official KTM website and entering their bike’s VIN number in the service section. Notifications will also be sent via email or message to affected owners. After verification, riders can visit any authorized KTM dealership to get the update done.
KTM is now fully under Bajaj Auto’s control. The company described this recall as a forward-looking step to eliminate potential risks while maintaining the brand’s premium quality and safety standards.
If you own a new KTM 390 series bike, getting this update is essential. It will not only improve your safety but also enhance the bike’s performance and smoothness.
