Suspension
Problem: Triumph is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2009 sprint st 1050 motorcycles manufactured from november 4, 2004 through september 2009. The rear suspension drag link assembly in these motorcycles can fracture due to corrosion.
Risk: 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.
Fix: Triumph will notify owners and repair the motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall began on september 22, 2009. Owners may contact triumph at 1-678-539-8777.
Equipment:mechanical:carrier/rack
Problem: On certain motorcycles equipped with an optional accessory luggage rack, undersized washers were used which prevents the sliding carriage from moving as intended.
Risk: Reduced stability can occur if the motorcycle is ridden with the fitted accessory, exceeded maximum weight, and at speeds far in excess of the 80 mph limit warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the accessory racks for lateral movement. Those racks not displaying any movement will be repaired. The recall began on february 8, 2008. Owners may contact triumph at 1-678-854-2010.
Steering:linkages:drag:link:connection
Problem: On certain motorcycles, the rear drag link-through bolt may bend and, if not replaced or overloaded, may fracture causing the rear tire to contact the underside of the rear mudguard.
Risk: This could cause a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install a higher grade nut than the original arrangement and a single-through sleeve (the original design included 3 separate sleeves). The recall began on january 5, 2007. Owners may contact triumph at 1-678-854-2010.
