2010 Triumph Sprint GT & 2010 Triumph Sprint ST recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
Triumph is recalling certain model year 2010 Sprint ST and GT motorcycles. The plug/dipstick is of an incorrect length. As a result, the accuracy of the dipstick for measuring adequate levels of oil may be compromised and adequate oil levels may not be maintained.
💥 The risk
In adequate oil levels may cause the engine may to seize leading to a loss of control of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the engine oil plug/dipstick fitted to the clutch cover. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on december 24, 2010. Owners may contact triumph motorcycle at 678-539-8782.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
