## What is wrong

Triumph Motorcycles America, Ltd. is recalling certain model year 2012\-2013 Explorer and Explorer XC motorcycles. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating data on the certification Label is incorrect.  Thus, the motorcycles fail to comply with the requirements of Part 567, "Certification."


## What can happen

The incorrect label could cause the operator to overload the motorcycle which may result in handling issues and/or tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Triumph will notify owners and replace the labels with corrected GVWR data, free of charge. The recall began on April 30, 2013.  Owners may contact Triumph at 1\-678\-854\-2010 for more information.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
