October Recalls

If your motorcycle has been recalled and you are not sure what to do, check out What To Do If Your Motorcycle Is Recalled.

Triumph is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2009 Sprint ST 1050 motorcycles manufactured from November 4, 2004 through September 2009. The rear suspension drag link assembly in these motorcycles can fracture due to corrosion. In the event of a fracture, part of the suspension will drop causing the rear tire mudguard to contact the rear tire, which could cause a crash. Triumph will notify
owners and repair the motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall began on September 22, 2009. Owners may contact Triumph at 1-678-539-8777.

Ducati is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 motorcycles. The fuel hose may become disconnected from the fuel pump which could result in engine stalling and a fuel leak. Stalling can cause a crash and a fuel leak can result in a fire. Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace and reposition the fuel hose retaining clamp free of charge. The recall began on October 19, 2009. Owners may contact Ducati at 1-800-231-6696.

Qingqi is recalling 738 model year 2008 Zap Xebra motorcycles manufactured between January and December 2008. These motorcycles do not conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 122, "Motorcycle Brake Systems." They do not have a separate brake fluid reservoir for the front and rear brakes. Without a separate reservoir for each brake, having its own cover, seal, and cover retention device, fluid for one brake circuit may move to the other. If this happens, both reservoirs could lose fluid as a result of a fluid leak in one brake circuit and compromise the stopping ability of both brakes. The manufacturer has not yet provided a remedy plan and notification schedule. Owners may contact Zap toll-free at 1-800-251-4555.
