DECEMBER
2008 --
Triumph recalled 8 MY
2008 Rocket III touring
motorcycles. There could be
a missing weld on the back
of the pannier rail. The
pannier rail may, after
time, be weakened leading to
a full fracture of the rail
and possible loss of pannier
and rail from the
motorcycle, increasing the
risk of a crash. Dealers
will replace the pannier
rail. All motorcycles have
been repaired. 08V-686
NOVEMBER
2008 -- Triumph is
recalling 87 MY 2008-2009
Thruxton motorcycles. The
installed front brake
caliper bracket bolts may be
too short, reducing thread
engagement of the bolts into
the brake caliper bracket.
This could result in the
loss of control of the
motorcycle, increasing the
risk of a crash. Triumph
will replace these bolts.
The recall is expected to
begin during December 2008.
Owners may contact Triumph
at 1-678-539-8782. 08V-624
SEPTEMBER 2008 --
Triumph is recalling 372 MY
2008 Sprint ST motorcycles.
There is a possibility that
the single bolt that is used
in the 3 positions on the
rear suspension drag link
assembly can become brittle
and fracture. The bolts were
manufactured in Great
Britain. The bolts involved
are the (1) drag link to
drop link bolt, (2) drag
link to frame bolt, and (3)
drop link to rear suspension
unit bolt. The head of the
bolt may detach causing the
drag link assembly to come
apart resulting in loss of
rear suspension, increasing
the risk of a crash. Dealers
will remove and discard the
3 bolts and replace them
with new bolts. The recall
is expected to begin during
November 2008. Owners may
contact Triumph at
1-678-539-8782. 08V-457 |
