    I RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL # 18V033 IN REGARDS TO THIS VEHICLE. KTM HAS FAILED TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM IN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME. THE RECALL NOTICE WAS DATED ON 2/23/2018. ADDITIONALLY, BREMBO ANNOUNCED THE PROBLEM ON 1/8/2018. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ORDERED THE PARTS AS SOON AS THEY COULD, BUT THEY HAVE YET TO COME IN. THERE IS NOT AN ESTIMATED TIME FRAME FOR WHEN THE PARTS WILL ARRIVE TO ALLOW FOR THE REPAIR. GIVEN THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN MADE 5 WEEKS AFTER THE NOTICE AND 12 WEEKS AFTER THE INITIAL IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM, KTM HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER.
