MODEL YEAR 2019 AND 2020: REPLACEMENT OF REAR BRAKE LINE
KTM is recalling KTM 790 ADVENTURE and KTM 790 ADVENTURE R machines of model year 2019 and 2020 to workshops of Authorized KTM Street Dealers in order to check and replace the rear brake line.
Due to material nonconformity in the brake line, the rear brake system may fail under extreme conditions. Therefore, KTM is ordering the replacement of the brake line that leads from the rear brake caliper to the ABS modulator.
Customers to whom the affected motorcycles have already been delivered are being personally informed by letter and are asked to immediately contact an Authorized KTM Street Dealer to arrange an appointment. In addition, customers can check online in the “Service” area on the KTM website if their motorcycle is affected by the recall.
The revision of the rear wheel brake takes approximately 85 minutes and can only be carried out by an Authorized KTM Street Dealer. This work is free as it is covered by the guarantee. However, whilst we would like to have the work completed on all affected motorcycles as soon as possible, customers should also follow current government advice with regards to essential travel. With the majority of Authorized KTM Dealers currently closed, for the time being we advise that you check online and social media platforms for the latest updates with regards to when your local Authorized KTM Dealer is able to resume normal business operations.
Blade Motor Cycles Limited an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Blade Motor Cycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
