Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data
Data refreshed
Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

WHILE RIDING MY TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE T100, MY LEFT FOOT PEG BROKE AS I STOOD ON IT TO GIVE MYSELF SUPPORT CROSSING OVER A RAIL ROAD TRACK. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, THE BOLT HOLDING THE PEG TO THE BIKE WAS CUT CLEAN OFF. WHILE LOOKING FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS THROUGH THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS AS THERE ARE AT LEAST 5-10 OTHER NOTED CASES ON THE FOLLOWING FORUM: HTTP://WWW.TRIUMPHRAT.NET. *TR

LAST AUGUST (2008) AND AGAIN THIS JULY (2009), THE SAME SPOKE HAS BROKEN ON MY 2006 TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE. THE FIRST TIME, THE SPOKE PUNCTURED THE TUBE CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO FLAT WHILE RIDING. LUCKILY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE BIKE HAD APPROXIMATELY 9000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. THE SECOND SPOKE FAILURE HAPPENED WITHOUT CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO FLAT. THIS HAPPENED SOMETIME ON A COUPLE HUNDRED MILE TRIP. BEFORE LEAVING I HAD CHECKED THE AIR IN THE TIRE AND CLEANED THE BIKE INCLUDING THE REAR WHEEL AND DID NOT NOTICE A BROKEN SPOKE. THIS TIME THE BIKE HAD APPROXIMATELY 13000 MILES ON IT. BOTH SPOKES BROKE AT THE HUB END WHERE THE SPOKE BENDS. THIS WAS A REAR LEFT-HAND OUTER SPOKE. THE SPOKE WILL BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER TRIUMPH REPLACEMENT SPOKE FOR THE SECOND TIME. NEITHER OF THE OLD SPOKES ARE AVAILABLE. *TR
