## What is wrong

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.
