Triumph issued a recall for optional accessory top boxes for the 2011-2012 Sprint GT sport tourer and the Tiger 800 and 800XC dual sports.
According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the top box locking handle is missing a clip lip to ensure a proper lock on the rear rack. Without this clip, the locking mechanism may not be secure, potentially leading to the top box falling off of the motorcycle.
Triumph first received reports of loose top boxes in June 2011. An investigation discovered the source of the problem and a new clip was produced. The new clip is included with all top boxes distributed after July 28, 2011.
