## What is wrong

Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD \(Triumph\) is recalling certain model year 2012\-2013 Triumph Street Triple and Street Triple R motorcycles manufactured July 1, 2012, to October 1, 2013, and equipped with ABS.  In the affected motorcycles, the four bolts that secure the two cable guides on either side of the headstock do not contain threadlock.  As a result, the bolts could loosen.


## What can happen

If the bolts loosen, steering movement could be restricted, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will replace the four bolts with new bolts containing threadlock, free of charge.  The recall began on November 7, 2014.  Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1\-678\-854\-2010.  Triumph's number for this recall is Service Bulletin 501.


## 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.
