SPRINT ST 1050 & SPRINT ST 1050 ABS SAFETY RECALL (Dec 2006)

 

In-service feedback from predominently poor road surface condition markets has identified a small possibility of the rear suspension drag link bolt either bending or (in extreme conditions) fracturing on Sprint ST1050, both ABS and non-ABS models.

Under extreme circumstances it is therefore possible for the riders seating position to suddenly lower and for the rear mudguard to come into permanent contact with the rear tyre. 
 Rider safety is of paramount importance to Triumph so despite the extremely low-risk to owners, the company has decided to recall all Sprint ST 1050 models as a precautionary measure.  

Owners of machines are being notified directly by mail, however anyone who wishes to confirm whether their machine is affected by the action is asked to contact their local dealer.  The recall applies to all Sprint ST 1050 models up to Vin 298255.

Although safe to ride in the meantime, owners are asked to make early arrangements to have the drag link bolt and allied parts replaced.  All authorised dealers  have been briefed for the recall and stock of the new unit is readily available.
