The KTM models listed above were originally equipped with TKC 80 brand tires. CTA has determined that groove cracks in the tread rubber developed during internal testing. Groove cracking may appear during the tire service life and can lead to tread separation, increasing the risk of a crash. On the specified 690, 890, 1090 and 1290 Models listed above only the originally equipped TKC 80 front tire is affected and needs replaced. On the specified 250, 350, 450 and 500 EXC-F Models listed above both the originally equipped TKC 80 front and rear tires are affected and need replaced. Customers that still have originally equipped TKC 80 tires mounted on their motorcycle are eligible to have the recall tire replacement performed by an authorized KTM dealer. KTM is notifying all registered owners of the motorcycles by mail. A copy of the customer letter is included in this bulletin. The customer should take the letter along with the affected motorcycle to an authorized KTM Dealer to have their TKC 80 tire(s) replaced.

During the investigation, CTA evaluated and performed endurance testing on additional motorcycle tire products. February – April 2022: The additional endurance tests revealed further products from the Continental tire lines TKC80, ContiGo!, K62, and LB which are sensitive to developing groove cracks. April 29, 2022: CTA made a determination that noncompliance on various products exists and therefore decided to initiate this recall. CTA is not aware of any field complaints for this condition and has not received any reports of property damage or personal injury claims for the affected products.
