Recall 2006065

The issue

On certain motorcycles, the handlebar clamp bolts may not have received adequate tightening torque during final vehicle assembly. The fitment of the handlebar clamps is a task undertaken by the dealers. Triumph failed to notify dealers of a change in the clamp design which requires a higher torque value. As a result, the handlebar could loosen and cause a loss of vehicle control and a crash. Correction: Dealers will apply correct tightening torque to the handlebar clamp bolts.

Description (français)

Sur certaines motocyclettes, les boulons de fixation du guidon pourraient ne pas avoir été correctement serrés lors du montage final du véhicule. L'installation des boulons de fixation du guidon est une tâche entreprise par les concessionnaires. La compagnie Triumph a omis d'avertir les concessionnaires d'un changement dans la conception du boulon de fixation; le boulon nécessite un couple de serrage plus élevé. En conséquence, le guidon pourrait se desserrer et causer une perte de contrôle du véhicule et un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront appliquer un couple de serrage correct aux boulons de fixation du guidon.
