Before the next long ride
A recall is a dealer job, but the pre-trip check around it is yours. Husqvarna Motorcycles bikes still need the same roll of tools once you are out of range of one.
Husqvarna Motorcycles recall FAQ
- How do I check whether my Husqvarna Motorcycles has an open recall?
- Enter the 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or the Transport Canada recalls database if you are in Canada. The VIN check is the only answer that is specific to your bike: this page lists campaigns for the brand, but whether yours is inside a campaign's build range and whether the work has already been done are both VIN-level facts.
- Does a Husqvarna Motorcycles recall cost anything to fix?
- No. A safety recall is repaired free of charge by an authorised dealer, however old the bike is and however many owners it has had. If you already paid for the same repair before the recall was announced, ask the manufacturer about reimbursement.
- How many recalls does a Husqvarna Motorcycles have?
- 10 motorcycle and scooter campaigns are on file with NHTSA for model years 2015–2027, the most recent reported on 8 July 2026. A campaign covers a build range rather than a single bike, so the count says more about how many models the brand sells in the US than about build quality.
- Can I ride a Husqvarna Motorcycles with an open recall?
- It depends on the campaign. NHTSA flags the serious ones as "do not drive" or "park outside", and those are marked on this page — for anything flagged, stop riding and call a dealer. For the rest, book the work at the next service, and get it done before a long or remote trip rather than after it.
- What gets recalled most on a Husqvarna Motorcycles?
- Fuel system, gasoline accounts for the largest share — 3 of the 10 campaigns on this page. That is a useful pre-trip inspection hint, not a verdict: check that area yourself before a long ride even if your VIN is clear.
