Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with ABS. In the affected motorcycles, the four bolts that secure the two cable guides on either side of the headstock do not contain threadlock. As a result, the bolts could loosen.

Why it matters: If the bolts loosen, steering movement could be restricted, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will replace the four bolts with new bolts containing threadlock, free of charge. The recall began on November 7, 2014.
