What's wrong?
The engine on the 2013-2014 Husqvarna TR650 motorcycles is the 652 ccm single-cylinder unit that turns fuel and air into the power that moves the bike. It also keeps the electrical system, cooling system, and engine controls working together so throttle input turns into steady forward drive. When it runs correctly, the engine idles, accelerates, and keeps running as long as the rider supplies throttle and the key remains on.
On affected TR650 Terra and TR650 Strada motorcycles, the engine can stall without warning. KTM reported that the issue was still under investigation, so the filing does not identify one failed internal part or a final root cause. The practical problem for the rider is simple: the engine stops running when it is expected to keep pulling, which removes drive power until the motorcycle is restarted or brought to a stop.
There is no warning sign before failure. A rider should treat any unexpected stall as part of the recall concern and have the motorcycle checked through a Husqvarna dealer.
Who's affected?
Both model years point to the same engine component, so the VIN is the deciding check for an individual motorcycle.
| 2014 Husqvarna TR650 | Engine |
|---|---|
| 2013 Husqvarna TR650 | Engine |
| Units affected | 1,015 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorcycle is included.
What's the safety risk?
A stall increases the risk of a crash because the motorcycle loses engine power while you are riding. If your TR650 is included, ride cautiously, leave extra space, and contact a Husqvarna dealer for recall repair timing. Repair will be free at any franchised Husqvarna dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2014 Husqvarna TR650 is included in this recall.
- Wait for Husqvarna's final repair instructions before scheduling dealer work for the engine-stall condition.
- Call Husqvarna customer service at 1-440-985-3553 with questions and reference recall number 16V124.
- Contact a franchised Husqvarna dealer after the remedy opens to schedule the free engine-stall repair.
- Ride cautiously until the repair is complete. If the motorcycle stalls or runs poorly, pull over when safe and stop riding.
What happens at the repair
The remedy for this recall was still under development in the filing. Husqvarna sent interim owner notices on August 16, 2016, and the recall began in April 2017. Until the final repair is defined, ask a Husqvarna dealer what interim instructions apply to your TR650 and whether the motorcycle needs to be brought in or held for later service. Once available, a Husqvarna technician will complete the final recall repair at no charge. Parts and labor are covered under the recall.
