JAKARTA The KTM announced a recall or recall of five 390 models after a potential problem was found in the engine control unit (ECU) software. The problem could cause the engine to shut down suddenly, especially at low speeds or at deeleration.

Reporting from Visordown, Friday, December 5, this recall includes the KTM 390 Duke model in 2024 2026, as well as 390 Enduro R, 390 SMC R, 390 Adventure R, and 390 Adventure X models in 2025 2026. All affected units are required to undergo software updates as a precaution.

In its official statement, KTM explained that ECU updates are needed to minimize the risk of machines turning off. In addition, updates can also improve engine performance.

The ECU software update will be applied to all affected motorcycles. This update significantly reduces the risk of machines dying, especially at low speeds or at deselerated, while improving the performance of lower torques and engine stability," wrote KTM.

The company also ensures that vehicle owners will receive an official notification letter in the near future. The update process is carried out free of charge at the official KTM workshop.

Users who have not received a notification can check the recall status via the official KTM page by entering a 17 digit VIN and the Handover Letter number listed on the vehicle document. This withdrawal adds to the list of KTM recalls after previously several models in 2024 were also withdrawn due to potential problems in the fuel tank cover seal.
