NHTSA recall 09V378000
Suspension · Triumph Motorcycles America, Ltd.
Details
What's wrong: The rear suspension drag link assembly in these motorcycles can fracture due to corrosion.
Why it matters: In the event of a fracture, part of the suspension will drop causing the rear tire mudguard to contact the rear tire, which could cause a crash.
The fix: Triumph will notify owners and repair the motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall began on September 22, 2009.
