Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, if the motorcycle is dropped onto the left side, air may enter the rear brake master cylinder reservoir.

Why it matters: If left unattended, the rear brake may not operate, resulting in a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will reposition the rear brake master cylinder reservoir. Owner notification began on December 31, 2003. Owners should contact triumph at 1-678-854-2010.
