What's wrong?
The rear brake pedal on the 2014 KTM 690 Enduro R is the rider's foot control for the rear hydraulic brake. When the pedal is pressed, its linkage moves the brake system and applies pressure at the rear wheel. A mounting bolt holds that pedal in place, so the pedal stays aligned and connected while the motorcycle is ridden.
On affected motorcycles, the rear brake pedal mounting bolt can loosen during use. Once that bolt backs out far enough, the pedal no longer has a secure anchor point. The pedal can detach from the motorcycle, leaving the rider without normal foot control of the rear brake.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is the mounting hardware itself, so an owner is not given a dashboard alert, fluid leak, or changing brake feel before the pedal comes loose.

What's the safety risk?
If the rear brake pedal detaches, the rider is left with only the front brake to slow or stop the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash. There is no listed warning sign before failure, so schedule the repair soon and avoid hard riding until it is complete. Repair will be free at any franchised KTM dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 KTM 690 Enduro R is included in this recall.
- Contact KTM customer service at 1-888-985-6090 to confirm next steps for your motorcycle.
- Ask a franchised KTM dealer about the free washer and rear brake pedal mounting bolt service that secures the rear brake pedal.
- Bring the recall notice if KTM mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V305 when you call.
- Avoid riding until the dealer checks the rear brake pedal mounting bolt and completes the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a KTM technician installs a washer and a new rear brake pedal mounting bolt, applies threadlocker, and torques the bolt correctly so the rear brake pedal stays secured. KTM's remedy says this work is free of charge. The recall filing does not list the remedy status as available, so treat the final dealer repair as free once available and confirm timing with a KTM dealer before planning the service visit.
