Ok, just got the information 

First - this is not ST specific - this affects all Triumphs with black
crankcases (955, 509, ST, Tiger, Legend, Thunderbird Sport, Trophy 900 and
1200) in VIN range 076793 - 084542

In extreme cases oil can weep from between the crankcase halves. The
seepage occurs due to a "discreet plating change" on the part of the
Triumph bolt supplier. A supply of new bolts should be available in 10
days. If on inspection, you have the leak contact your dealer for further
instructions.

Once the supply of new bolts arrive, all bikes in the affected range will
have the bolts replaced.
