Engine and engine cooling: emission control Triumph recall

The problem

The possibility exists that the fuel non-evaporative loss system flexible connector, adjacent to the carbon canister, may become trapped by the right side horn attachment bracket when closing the hood. Trapping of the connector could cause a restriction in the non-evaporative loss system which may result in restricted fuel tank breathing and eventual fuel tank collapse or rupture.

The fix

Dealer will readjust the horn bracket angle and reroute and secure the "u" shaped connection pipe at no charge.
