Triumph Bonneville America: Luggage Rack May Become Insecure

Triumph Bonneville America motorcycles with optional rear luggage racks may have been assembled with regular nuts instead of self-locking nuts, which could cause the rack to become loose over time. About 1,550 units are affected. The fix involves replacing the four plain nuts with self-locking ones.
