Triumph is recalling 2,180 units of its Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 adventure-bikes, models from 2011 to 2014. The recall comes about because the side-stand pivot bolt may fracture, which could cause the Explorer to fall over, and possibly injure someone nearby.
Triumph is recalling certain bikes from its crop of 2012-2013 Triumph Explorer and Triumph Explorer XC motorcycles because the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) on the certification label is incorrect. The error means that the affected motorcycles fail to comply with the DOT’s certification requirements, and thus need correcting to be road-legal.
