JAKARTA A motorbike manufacturer from Europe, Husqvarna, announced the withdrawal or global recall of all units of the 401 model produced between 2024 and the latest. This is due to the potential for a dead motor engine.

Reporting from Caranbike, Tuesday, December 9, this recall was carried out to update the software on the engine control unit (ECU) as a preventive measure. Because the potential engine problem was found to be turned off suddenly in low rounds.

During internal quality checks, Husqvarna found that under certain conditions, machines can stop working when they are in low rounds. For example, when conditions are jammed or run slowly.

Despite the limited number of reported incidents, the company chose to take proactive action to prevent wider risks. Through an ECU update, Husqvarna stated that in addition to minimizing the possibility of stalling, this update will also increase low torques and machine stability.

The result makes the thrust response smoother and stable when the motor is attractive from silence or slow. The affected 401 motorcycle owner is advised to immediately contact the official Husqvarna dealer or the official service center to schedule an ECU update.

The recall procedure is done free of charge. This recall is seen as an important step to maintain the safety and performance of the motor, especially because the problem of installing the engine can pose a risk.

Speaking of specifications, Husqvarna 401 itself uses a liquid-cooled 373 cc one-cylinder engine with a power of around 42.9 hp, combined with six accelerations of manual transmission. In the latest model, a number of additional features such as quickshifter and traction control are also included.
