The rear brake switch has failed 3 times on the motorcycle. It is a hydraulic switch and has been replaced under warranty 2 times. After the second replacement it has failed again. My safety is put at risk if I use the brakes and the brake light does not come on, this could cause a vehicle to impact the rear of the motorcycle when the brake light does not illuminate due to braking. When the component was replaced, it was done under warranty at the dealer, the whereabouts of previously failed parts is unknown and may have been discarded. There were no warning messages or lights indicating the failure, the only indication is by visual inspection during periodic maintenance and at night noticing that the lamp was no longer illuminating when the rear brakes were used. All correspondence with the dealer was verbal but they do have records of the services. During my research of this issue I find many forums with 2020 KTM models experiencing failure of this brake switch from what i have found it appears 790 models may be affected as well.
