KTM Just Recalled Over 20,000 Dirt Bikes for a Major Crash Hazard

While we've focused on KTM at large for the better part of the last seven months, largely due to all the corporate financial issues the brand has faced, I have wonder what's going on with GasGas and Husqvarna recently. If you didn't know, KTM's parent company owns the two and they're under the KTM AG umbrella, as well as share parts across the group. 

Both brands, however, might be ruing the day they inked those sales, along with agreeing to share parts, as not only is KTM issuing a recall for the brands' dirt bikes, it's issuing a recall for a whopping 20,000-plus dirt bikes across both GasGas and Husqvarna and going back three years. This is just so many dirt bikes, it's frankly stunning. 

And it's for something seriously dangerous, too. How does the front brakes not working sound?
