What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2004 Triumph Daytona 600, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Fuel system
Reports naming fuel storage or delivery — tanks, pumps, lines, injectors and fuel leaks.
From owner reports, verbatim
THE RED NYLON FUEL CONNECTOR ON BOTTOM OF TANK HAS COMPLETELY SNAPPED OFF AND FAILED. BIKE WAS IN GARAGE AND WHEN I WENT TO START THE ENGINE I SMELLED GAS SO WITH FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THE FUEL LINE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK WAS COMPLETELY FAILED. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 TRIUMPH DAYTONA 600. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH A FUEL QUICK CONNECT, WHICH CONNECTS THE FUEL LINE TO THE FUEL TANK, AND THE QUICK CONNECT WOULD DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE AT ANY TIME. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V156000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,500.

From owner reports, verbatim
FROM DATE OF PURCHASE, 3/23/05, NEW, LEFTOVER 2004, TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO SHIFT. NOTED ON FIRST SERVICE RECORD, 4/21/05. ON MAY 4, 2005 I ASKED MY FATHER TO TAKE A TEST RIDE. HE HAS BEEN RIDING BIKES FOR 30+ YEARS. WHILE STOPPING, ALL INDICATIONS WHERE THE BIKE WAS IN NEUTRAL, REEVED THROTTLE, BIKE CAUGHT A GEAR, STOOD UP, THROWING BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER TO THE GROUND. WHEN WE PICKED THE BIKE UP ALL INDICATIONS WHERE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. IT WOULD NOT ROLL FREELY. HAD TO RUN TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY THROUGH ALL GEARS TWICE TO GET IT INTO NEUTRAL SO THAT IT WOULD ROLL. AT THE REQUEST OF TRIUMPH AND THE DEALERSHIP, THE BIKE HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK TO BE INSPECTED. AS OF TODAY'S DATE, MAY 10, 2005 NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED.
MY 2004 TRIUMPH DAYTONA 600, WITHOUT WARNING, AT FREEWAY SPEED, CAME OUT OF GEAR AND THE TRANSMISSION SELF DESTRUCTED. THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE FREEWAY, AT GREAT DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE.*AK

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
