On certain motorcycles, the electrical power supply cable to the starter motor may come into direct contact with the oil cooler return pipe. In time, this may cause the insulation on the starter to degrade. Should the starter motor cable insulation become worn, a 12-volt electrical short would occur, increasing the risk of a fire. Correction: Dealers will re-position the cable.

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 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 449 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2004.
