KTM North America Motorcycles Recall Class Action Lawsuit
On December 22, 2022, KTM North America issued a recall on the GASGAS Off-Road Motorcycles. The recall involves GASGAS MC 250 closed course competition motorcycles from model year 2022. The bikes were sold in red and white at GASGAS Motorcycle dealers throughout the United States. According to KTM, the motorcycles may have an incorrectly programmed CDI box that can cause engine failure and lead to a collision or another serious accident.
Consumers should stop riding the bikes immediately, and KTM is in the process of reaching out to all known purchases. As a remedy, they are offering a free repair service to replace the CDI box. But what if you’ve had an accident on one of these bikes? You may be entitled to monetary damages through a defective product lawsuit, which we can discuss with you during a free consultation.

Steps to Take if You’ve had a Motorcycle Accident
There are very specific steps you will need to follow if you have been injured by a defective vehicle. We’ve listed some helpful tips below to ensure that you can build a strong and solid case:
- Use your phone to capture images of your injuries and the accident scene, since these will serve as evidence in a lawsuit.
- If there are witnesses, get their contact info so that you can obtain a statement from them later.
- Seek medical treatment right away so that you have proof of the injuries you’ve sustained.
- Report your accident to the manufacturer, but don’t agree to a refund or free repair, and say no if they ask for a recorded statement.
- Start a collection of evidence, such as your medical records, the clothing you were wearing at the time of the accident, witness statements, and proof of lost wages.
- Get legal advice from a product recall lawyer that’s experienced in motorcycle accidents.
