Issue: On certain motorcycles, the clutch cable may contact and damage the main wiring harness. This could lead to a loss of electrical power.

Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the headstock tidy replaced with a new version.
- Fuel System#2016539
751 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the wiring sealing material of the fuel pump mounting plate could become damaged. This could allow for fuel to escape from the fuel tank and travel along the wiring toward the sub harness to the main harness connector, possibly resulting in an electrical short. This could lead to a fire, which could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a revised wiring harness.

*** This notice is provided for information purposes only as the subject equipment is not regulated under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act *** A safety defect may exist in some aftermarket front brake levers. In certain adjustment levels, the brake lever blade may contact the handlebar grip, which would not allow for maximum brake performance. This would increase stopping distances, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Triumph dealers will identify and contact affected owners and arrange for a replacement brake lever.

These brake levers are intended for installation on 2016 and 2017 Thruxton 1200, Street Twin, Bonneville T120, and Bonneville T120 Black motorcycles.
