What can fail
The four bolts securing the cable guides on the headstock lack threadlock and may loosen over time.
What the fix does
Dealers will replace all four bolts with new bolts containing threadlock at no cost.
The 2012 Triumph Street Triple has 2 recalls, both carrying equal severity: one where cable guide bolts near the steering head can loosen and restrict steering movement, and one where wheel bearings can fail unexpectedly, either of which could cause a crash.
The steering concern only affects ABS-equipped models: bolts securing cable guides on either side of the headstock were installed without threadlock and can work loose over time, limiting how freely the bars turn. The wheel bearing issue stems from bearings of uncertain quality that can seize or collapse without warning, causing sudden loss of wheel control.
