    Hello David. The Duke 200 is made in India, not Austria. This could be the reason for the prefix difference. For example, the older Husqvarnas made in Italy start with ZKH. 

    You will need to contact your local dealer or distributor regarding warranty information.

    Very useful info. All I have is a bill of sale and the kid wrote the wrong model number. So this helps quite a bit as I need to replace the crankcase cover gasket. Thanks!
