Husqvarna Motorcycles North America of Corona, Calif., is recalling about 260 Husqvarna closed course/competition off-road motorcycles.
The motorcycle’s throttle cable can malfunction so the rider loses speed control, posing a crash hazard. No incidents or injuries have been reported.
This recall involves four 2013 models of Husqvarna closed course/competition motorcycles, including CR125, WR125, WR250 and WR300. The Husqvarna two-wheeled off-road motorcycles are white, red and black. The model number is printed on the rear fender on both sides of the motorcycle just below the tail end of the seat. Husqvarna is printed on both sides of the shrouds covering the fuel tank. Consumers can identify the model year by checking the letter in the 10th position of the vehicle identification number (VIN) on the right side of the steering head. The letter D is a 2013 model.
The motorcycles, manufactured in Italy, were sold at motorcycle shops nationwide from October 2012, through June 2013, for between $6,300 and $7,100.
Consumers may contact Husqvarna Motorcycles toll-free at (888) 985-6090 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
