What's wrong?
The fuel cap gasket on the 2024 390 Duke, Vitpilen 401, 250 Duke, Svartpilen 401, and 990 Duke motorcycles is the seal under the filler cap. Its job is simple: keep fuel inside the tank when the cap is closed, including during normal riding, parking, and fuel expansion. The cap itself is not the recalled part.
In NHTSA campaign 25V740, KTM says material deviations in the original gasket allow small cracks to form in the seal. Once the gasket cracks, fuel can leak from the fuel cap area. KTM identified the affected production period for the defective seal, and the repair replaces the gasket with a new fuel cap seal made under improved production processes.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should not count on a smell, visible fuel, or a change in how the motorcycle runs before the seal begins leaking.
