Official manufacturer communication context for 2022 Husqvarna Fe 350s, with affected products, buyer checks and links into Carchieve recall, problem and VIN research.
Reviewed June 2026 from NHTSA manufacturer communication and service bulletin records. Carchieve is independent and not affiliated with any vehicle manufacturer or government agency.
In the effort of continuous product development and safety the originally mounted brake pad retaining R clips must replaced with the new version retaining R clips and they must be mounted on the front brake and rear brake caliper brake pad securing pins. Husqvarna Motorcycles North America, Inc. has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists with certain 2022 model motorcycles listed on page 1 pertaining to the brake pad retaining R clips on the front brake caliper. On affected motorcycles there is a possibility that the brake pad retaining R clips on the front brake caliper can unfasten and fall out and get lost while riding. This can result in the brake pad securing pin being lost which could reduce front braking performance. For this reason and to ensure the highest level of safety, performance, reliability and customer satisfaction, the brake pad securing pin retaining R clips on the front brake caliper must be replaced on all affected motorcycles. The brake pad retaining R clips on the rear brake caliper brake pad securing pin must also be replaced at the same time during this repair to prevent the mixing up of retaining R clips by equipping the motorcycle with like clips on both the front brake and rear brake caliper to have a unification of the R clips.
