Details

What's wrong: The regulator/rectifier can overheat and prevent the motorcycle from charging. Once the battery is fully discharged, the motorcycle may stall.

Why it matters: If the motorcycle stalls, there is an increased risk of a crash leading to personal injury.

The fix: Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the regulator/rectifier, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on, or before October 12, 2012.
