Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? A small plastic plug on some KTM motorcycles may melt from heat near the exhaust. This can let fuel leak out and the melted plastic can drip onto hot parts, which may start a fire.

What's happening? KTM has told owners to check their motorcycles. The melted plug and fuel leak could cause a fire while riding.

Does this affect me? If you own a KTM Super Adventure, Super Adventure S, or Super Adventure R bike, you may be at risk.

What should I do? Stop riding the bike and contact a KTM dealer or mechanic right away. Ask your mechanic or a KTM service point for help fixing the plug.
