On January 14, 2022, KTM North America issued a recall for all 2022 Husqvarna FE 350s and FE 501s sold in the United States due to a front brake issue. On affected bikes, the retaining “R” clips on the front brake caliper that hold the brake pads in place may be mounted incorrectly, and could therefore unfasten themselves and fall out while riding.
If you think this issue sounds familiar, it’s because KTM North America previously issued a recall regarding this issue in August, 2021, also for all 2022 Husqvarna FE 350s and FE 501s sold in the U.S. Under the terms of that recall, KTM announced plans to inspect and then correctly install the retaining clips on those bikes via the Husqvarna North America Dealer network, free of charge.
