KTM 690 DUKE R in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. KTM 690 DUKE R is named on 1 Japanese notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The Japanese register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Reading this against the source
This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the KTM 1290 Super Duke R, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
