KTM and its sister company Husqvarna have expanded their premium four-year warranty to cover nearly all street-legal motorcycles starting from the 2025 model year. This move builds on an earlier extension for specific engine types and aims to reassure buyers amid concerns over engine issues. The warranty requires regular servicing at authorized dealerships and applies retroactively to some existing bikes.
In a recent announcement, KTM and Husqvarna have broadened their warranty program to include almost all street-legal motorcycles produced from the 2025 model year onward. This extension follows an initial rollout in winter 2025, which applied a four-year warranty to bikes equipped with the LC8c parallel twin or LC8 V-twin engines. That earlier measure was designed to address buyer hesitations stemming from reports of camshaft failures in these parallel twin engines, which are also used in some Husqvarna models. The warranty remains fully transferable and free of charge, provided owners adhere to maintenance schedules at approved dealerships.
The updated coverage excludes street-legal enduro models such as KTM's EXC-F series and track-only bikes. It now encompasses a wider range, including KTM's 390-series and 690-series single-cylinder bikes, as well as Husqvarna's 401-series and 701-series equivalents. Supermotos, naked bikes, and dual-sport models are also eligible, as long as they receive dealer servicing.
For Husqvarna, the terms mirror KTM's closely. The company stated: "Importantly, the updated coverage also applies to motorcycles from model year 2025 onward already in dealer inventory, as well as motorcycles that have previously been sold or registered, provided that all warranty conditions are fulfilled. The Premium Manufacturer’s Warranty is free of charge for all riders." To preserve the full duration, all scheduled services must occur at an authorized Husqvarna Mobility dealership following the official schedule. Standard manufacturer warranty conditions continue to apply.
Owners seeking clarification are advised to contact their local dealership, which handles the required service appointments. This policy shift comes as of March 12, 2026, enhancing reliability assurances for riders across both brands' street-oriented lineups.
