Recall 07V-562: Equipment

Reported Dec 12, 2007 · 3,698 vehicles affected · TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLES AMERICA LTD

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.
