- [2004316](/recalls/tc/2004316.md), 2004-09-03: Brakes. On certain motorcycles, the front brake line may be pinched when turning right all the way to the steering stop.  A pinched brake line could restrict the flow of brake fluid to the caliper.  Also, over time, the pinched hose may crack causing a brake fluid leak.  A restricted and/or leaking brake line could reduce braking efficiency resulting in extended stopping distances.  Correction:  Dealers will install a plastic bracket to protect the front brake line.
- [2004249](/recalls/tc/2004249.md), 2004-07-15: Other. On certain motorcycles, the KTM brand oil cooler could break, causing a significant quantity of oil to leak onto the rear tire.  This could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash.  Correction:  Dealer will inspect the motorcycle to determine whether a KTM or Toyo oil cooler was installed.  KTM P/N 54840421A oil coolers will be replaced.
