Explorer XC and Explorer motorcycles of the 2012 and 2013 model years are being recalled by Triumph Motorcycles America.  An estimated 1,186 motorcycles are thought to be impacted by the recall, and each could have a label that erroneously states the weight that can be added to the vehicle.  If a motorcyclist thus follows the directive as outlined by the label, he or she could be unable to properly steer their motorcycle.  There’s also a possibility that the tires could fail.  Either issue poses a crash hazard.  Although there is no word on when the recall will take place, owners can expect to hear from Triumph once it does.  Free labels that contain the correct information will be provided to owners of the motorcycles.

The motorcycle manufacturing company Zero has recalled several 2011 and 2012 S, DS, MXD, X, XU, and XD models for a brake light malfunction. The brake light may not turn on when moderate pressure is applied to the brake. This could potentially result in an accident, as a vehicle behind the motorcycle may not be aware that the rider is braking. Owners will be notified by Zero and a dealer will inspect and/or replace the brake light switch for free.
