The American register
The British register
- DVSA recall RM/99/008: Triumph Sprint ST, Speed Triple, Tiger and 3 more (Possible oil contamination of rear tyre)
- DVSA recall RM/2000/008: Triumph Speed Triple, Sprint ST and Sprint RS (Possible fracture of the final drive chain)
- DVSA recall RM/2000/020: Triumph Tiger, Sprint ST and Sprint RS (Fuel leak may occur)
The European register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain motorcycles, a loss of crankcase bolt torque resulting from a bolt plating change by the bolt manufacturer can cause motor oil to weep from between the crankcase halves forward of the rear wheel. This condition could cause vehicle instability which in turn could result in a crash or injury to the operator or bystanders. Correction: New crankcase bolts will be installed on affected motorcycles.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1999068.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Triumph Thunderbird, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Triumph: 85 in the register, and 240 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1999.
