Details
What's wrong: The installed front brake caliper bracket bolts may be too short, reducing thread engagement of the bolts into the brake caliper bracket.
Why it matters: The brake caliper may become loose or separated resulting in reduced brake effectiveness, loss control of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Triumph will replace these bolts. The recall began on December 12, 2008.
