Here's a thought: are the heads made in China?
Who would benefit from a devalued KTM that could be purchased at a Knock Down Price off the Receivers?
I'll leave you with a little thought.
A few years back, a British Company called London Taxis International was persuaded to 'off-shore' component production to China. Among the components off-shored was the steering system. The steering systems failed, and the vehicles were recalled, but suddenly the Chinese supplier was unable to help.
LTI went bust and was subsequently taken over by a Chinese company. Miraculously, a revised steering system was soon produced!
I'm not making this up: this is what it says in Wiki
In October 2012, following a suspension of sales due to the discovery of a serious flaw with vehicle steering components and having failed in an attempt to obtain new financing, the company was placed in voluntary administration.
[8][9] The quite recently specified faulty steering components had been sourced from Geely supplier, Gang Yang in China.
[10][11]
In February 2013, certain assets of The London Taxi Company were purchased from administrator
PricewaterhouseCoopers by Geely.
[12][13] It continued to trade as The London Taxi Company until rebranded as the
London EV Company in September 2017 developing electric commercial vehicles at a new plant near Coventry, the first into production being an electric taxicab - the
LEVC TX.
