Triumph recall: Engine and engine cooling
What is wrong
Triumph is recalling certain model year 2010 sprint st and gt motorcycles. The plug/dipstick is of an incorrect length. As a result, the accuracy of the dipstick for measuring adequate levels of oil may be compromised and adequate oil levels may not be maintained.
What could happen
In adequate oil levels may cause the engine may to seize leading to a loss of control of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the engine oil plug/dipstick fitted to the clutch cover. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on december 24, 2010. Owners may contact triumph motorcycle at 678-539-8782.
