Triumph Rocket III: Steering
Affects Triumph Rocket III · 2006 — about 18 vehicles.
The hazard
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.
