- The problem
- On certain motorcycles, the fuel connector linking each of the feed and return fuel hoses to the fuel pump mounting plate may fracture following in-service handling.
- The risk
- Fuel could escape from the fractured body of the connector onto the engine or side of the bike. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the connector. The recall began on july 30, 2004. Owners should contact triumph at 1-678-854-2010.
