Ducati Supersport Recalled for Buzzy Mirrors

Alta Motors Has Its First Recall

By 3 COMMENTS

A motorcycle company’s first recall is a milestone event, an unwelcome milestone, but an inevitable one nonetheless. That is where startup Alta Motors finds itself today, with its first recall hitting the NHTSA newswires. Affecting certain 2019 Alta Redshift EXR and 2018-2019 Alta Redshift MXR motorcycles, this recall concerns Alta’s throttle system, which under specific circumstances can fail, and cause an apparent “stall” of the motor. The issue is software related, however, and the fix is an update to the firmware to the affected motorcycles. The firmware update takes about 15 minutes to perform. According to Alta’s recall documents, the “stall” (for a lack of a better word) occurs when the throttle is rolled forward, past the closed position, which then trips up the software reading the throttle position.
