I bought my 525 EXC from a Québec dealer... I assume that they should have received this information also... right ?? By the way I looked for your phone number on the net (using Clasen Motors KTM) but found nothing....

Here is what I found on the KTM USA site... it`s dated as August 26th ??? Could this be old news ?? I just picked up my bike last week so maybe it`s already been fixed !!!

I got a call from my dealer about 1/2 hr ago explaining the situation.... I`ll have to chk if my bike is amongst the "bad bottom clamp" group !!!!

This is a new recall. It seems the triple clamps that have passed inspection are now breaking.
