Reporting safety defects
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause an accident resulting in injury or death, you should immediately inform
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying KTM North America, Inc.
If NHTSA receives multiple similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of
vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you,
your dealer, or KTM North America, Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1
