NHTSA Recalls Triumph Motorcycles


 
 June 15, 2005
The National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) has ordered Triumph Motorcycles of America to recall the popular Daytona motorcycle and several other models because a cooling system failure could cause the engine to seize and lead to a crash.

Also recalled are the Triumph Speed Triple, Sprint and Sprint with ABS.

NHTSA reports that on some of the motorcycles the lower by-pass coolant hose can rupture. The loss of coolant from the engine could result in overheating and seizure.

Dealers will replace the coolant hose in July. Triumph Motorcycle owners should contact the company at 1-678-854-2010.

Owners can also contact NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236

So... between the time this is announced and the time they can replace this dangerous hose are you supposed to just park the bike?
