This is the sort of level of recall that would make me walk away from a bike.
I had one of the early KTM RC8s and was quite happy with the bike apart from multiple
small warranty claims such as water pump seals, gearbox return spring, and speedo.
Then KTM informed it needed pistons and camshafts exchanged. I asked for a new engine and they said no.
Traded it in against something else.
If I wanted a bike which had been pulled down for repairs, I wouldn't have bought new, regardless of whether a dealer had done it or not.
