As per report KTM may not be using the word ‘recall’ here, but customers of the 2017 and 2018 390 Duke have been asked to bring in their bikes for what the company is calling a 'Monsoon Kit Fitment'. This kit involves a new ECU bracket, pillion seat damping bushes and a fix for the headlamp vibration issue many customers have been facing. If necessary, the company will also flash a software update on the bikes that face the issue of the headlamp randomly turning off, a fault that's been public for over a year now.
Meanwhile the new ECU bracket comes with a cover that will protect the unit from water and other elements. The pillion seat damping bushes have been redesigned to increase the gap between the seat and the tail-light, as the older setup led to the cracking of the light with a heavier pillion on board.
Moreover the India built KTM models don’t have a stellar reputation when
it comes to quality; there have been a number of fixes and updates since their
debut. Furthermore, back in January this year, dealers had informed us that the
390 has had a few technical updates for the 2018 iteration. Part of the
technical changes includes the updated software for the instrumentation and the
increased idle rpm. At the time, we also heard that the design of the radiator
shrouds has been tweaked for better hot air management.
