2013 Husqvarna TR650

"TAKATA RECALL" I AM WISHING TO LODGE A FORMAL COMPLAINT. CONCERNING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE ABOVE HUSQVARNA MANUFACTURED MOTORCYCLE. COMMONLY REFERRED TO AMONGST THE HUSQVARNA MOTORCYCLE COMMUNITY OWNERS AS THE 'DEATH" STALL. BECAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT PROGRAMMING OF THE ECU THIS RESULTS A SPORADIC STALLING PROBLEM. WHICH CAN HAVE LIFE THREATENING CONSEQUENCES. THERE SEEMS TO BE A COMPLETE LACK OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS COMPANY OWNERS BMW AND THE NEW COMPANY OWNERS KTM. WHICH FOR SOME REASON IS RAMPANT IN NORTH AMERICAN DEALERSHIPS WHERE THERE IS CAPABILITY DO APPLY THE REVISED AND UPDATED FUEL MAPPING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE ONLY THING THAT IS OFFERED TO OWNERS OF THIS MACHINE. IS THAT OUR DEALERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO SENT THE ECU'S BACK TO KTM HQ FOR THESE REPROGRAMMING UPDATES. ALL OF THIS AT OUR EXPENSE NOT TO MENTION THE VEHICLE DOWNTIME . WHEN OWNERS IN OTHER COUNTRIES ARE ABLE TO GET THESE UPDATES/REVISIONS PROVIDED AT THEIR LOCAL DEALERSHIPS. MEANWHILE WE ARE STUCK AND WITHOUT REAL TIME SUPPORT FOR AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE ADMINISTERED FREE OF CHARGE LONG LONG AGO. NO ONE IS BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS. IT'S A COMPLETE OUTRAGE! THE STALLING ISSUE WILL OCCUR IN THE WORST SITUATIONS POSSIBLE. USUALLY DURING SLOW MANEUVERS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. PULLING OUT INTO INTERSECTIONS. SLOW MOVING TURNS ETC. SO FAR AS WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN DATE REQUIRED BELOW. IT'S AN ON GOING AND RANDOM ISSUE. IT CONSTANTLY HAPPENS. SO THE DATE IS SOMEWHAT IRRELEVANT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HUSQVARNA TR650. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND SHIFTING GEARS, THE MOTORCYCLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND NOT REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BECAUSE THE COMPANY WAS SOLD. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

SINCE DAY ONE, THIS BIKE HAS STALLED RANDOMLY WHEN SLOWING FOR TRAFFIC OR WHEN COASTING ON ROADWAYS. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO FALL OVER IN GRASS WHEN THE BIKE DID NOT FUEL WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE. IT ALSO HAS A RANDOM HIGH IDLE AND FUELING IS HORRIBLE THROUGHOUT THE REV RANGE. I HAVE GONE TO FOUR DIFFERENT HUSQVARNA DEALERSHIPS ON THE EAST COAST OF THE USA WITH NO HELP. THEY ALL ADVISE THAT NOW THAT KTM OWNS HUSQVARNA THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE NOR DO THEY WANT THE MOSS TOOL SOFTWARE TO ATTEMPT TO RECTIFY THE ISSUES. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WHICH HAS CAUSED ME TO NEARLY BE STRUCK SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I HOPE TO START FROM A STOP BUT EH BIKE STALLS AND I'M STUCK IN A TRAFFIC LANE. I BARLEY RIDE MY MOTORCYCLE THAT I PAID THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR. CANADA HAS ISSUED A RECALL AND I SEE NO REASON THAT THE USA SHOULD NOT HAVE A RECALL AND MAKE BMW (THE OWNER OF HUSQVARNA DURING THE MAKING OF MY BIKE) OR KTM (THE OWNER OF THUSQVARNA NOW) TO FIX THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP!!!!

RECALL IS EFFECT FOR THIS VEHICLE IN AUSTRALIA, CANADA I WILL INCLUDE (ATTACH) THE DOTAR AUSTRALIA RESPONSE WITH CLARIFICATION ABOUT THE BMW DEVELOPED HUSQVARNA TR650 MOTORCYCLE THAT HAS A RANDOM STALL ISSUE THAT WILL AT SOME POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE GET A PERSON KILLED. THIS IS AN EASY FIX BY COMPUTER RE-PROGRAM OF THE ECU BY THE NEW OWNERS KTM MOTORCYCLES WHO BY EU LAW IS REQUIRED TO SUPPORT THE MOTORCYCLE FOR 10 YEARS

THIS MOTORCYCLE STALLS OFTEN AND WITH NO WARNING. ESPECIALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP. I HAVE STALLED AT LEAST 20 TIMES. THE LAST STALL WAS ON A DOWNHILL COMING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY. AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY I SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND THE ENGINE STALLED CAUSING ME TO FALL. I HURT MY NECK AND BADLY BURNED MY LEG. I WILL NOT RIDE THIS BIKE UNTIL HUSQVARNA/BMW FIX THIS STALLING PROBLEM. THIS STALL IS CAUSED BY A POORLY MAPPED ECU (ELECRTRIC CONTROL UNIT). THE LOW SPEED FUEL DELIVERY IS SO LEAN THAT THE ENGINE JUST STOPS UPON SLOWING DOWN. THIS COULD BE DEADLY WHILE NEGOTIATING AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL HUSQVARNA DEALERS BUT THEY REFUSE TO OFFER ANY HELP.

ENGINE STALLS AT OR NEAR CLOSED THROTTLE UNPREDICTABLY. FAULT OCCURS REPEATEDLY BUT INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAS OCCURRED WITHOUT REGARD TO INTERSTATE, HIGHWAY, OR CITY. WHEREVER THERE IS STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE PROBLEM IS WIDELY RECOGNIZED AMONG OWNERS AND HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED OUTSIDE THE US BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, PLEASE REFERENCE THE ATTACHED CANADIAN RECALL. THE INCIDENT REPORTED BELOW WAS THE FIRST .
