KTM announces a proactive quality improvement measure to further enhance the reliability and long-term performance of the KTM PowerPart Steering Damper (part no. 16181T01E).

Affected component: Steering Damper, part no. 16181T01E
As part of KTM’s ongoing quality monitoring and product development efforts, the screw connection of the steering damper has been further optimised to help prevent potential issues.
