On December 22, 2022, KTM North America issued a recall for 2022 GASGAS MC 250 closed course competition motorcycles, due to the possibility of the engine stalling unexpectedly. A recall for the same machine and reason was also issued in Canada by Transport Canada and was last updated on October 13, 2022.
The issue is an incorrectly programmed capacitor discharge ignition (CDI) box, which could suddenly cause the engine to fail and make the bike unable to restart. If the engine suddenly stalls, it could increase a rider’s risk of crash and/or injury.
