Triumph Bonneville 1200 T120 / T120 Black: Unintended Acceleration

Recall Summary Triumph is recalling 670 Bonneville 1200 T120 and T120 Black motorcycles because the heated handlebar grip can bind when turned on, preventing the throttle from returning to idle on its own. The issue occurs when the grip binds against the end weight or an optional mirror. Triumph will install a spacer to create proper clearance for the throttle to operate freely.
