2022: “While riding my 2022 KTM 390 Adventure motorcycle, the throttle stopped working and the motorcycle came to a sudden stop on a busy road which almost caused me to be struck by another vehicle. I later shut off the motorcycle and then turned it back and the throttle began to work; about a mile down the road the throttle stopped working again and almost caused me almost to be hit again. I once again turned the motorcycle back on and i was able to get home carefully. Upon further examination when I arrived home, I found out KTM has a safety recall but not a full recall. …”
