What this recall means for you
Heated hand grips on certain motorcycles may expand during use and cause the throttle to stick open. A throttle that sticks open means the engine keeps accelerating even when the rider is not asking for more power, which increases the risk of a crash.
The repair is free. Triumph will notify affected owners, and an authorized dealer will install a spacer to keep the throttle from sticking. Owners can also contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010 for more information.
If you own a motorcycle of this type, check your VIN for open recalls and schedule the free repair with an authorized Triumph dealer.
