What's wrong

KTM North America, Inc. (KTM) is recalling certain 2019-2020 790 Adventure and 790 Adventure R motorcycles. The rear brake hose may overheat, causing the rear brake system to fail.

The risk

If the rear brake system fails, there would be reduced braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
