The 2005 Triumph Sprint ST 1050 has two recalls, the more serious being a bolt in the rear suspension linkage that can fracture, causing the suspension to drop and the mudguard to contact the tire, which can cause the rider to lose control.
The second recall only affects motorcycles fitted with the optional accessory luggage rack: the rear rack's slide carriage may not move laterally as required, reducing stability in certain conditions and raising the risk of losing control.

At a glance
What can fail
A bolt connecting the drag link to the drop link can fracture, allowing the rear suspension to drop. This causes the mudguard to rub against the tire, which may cause loss of control and a crash.
What the fix does
Dealers will install a longer drag link bearing sleeve and replace the hardware with higher-grade bolts.
