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.

THE NYLON/PLASTIC FUEL TANK HAS STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS OF WARPING AND DEFORMATION. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HIGHLY SPECULATED TO BE CAUSED BY PHASE SEPARATION/E10 FUEL RELATED CAUSES WHICH ATTRACT ENVIRONMENTAL MOISTURE INTO THE FUEL AND TANK AND ULTIMATELY CAUSE DEFORMATION. 2008+ VERSIONS OF THE TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE NOW COME EQUIPPED WITH A METAL FUEL TANK WITH WHICH THIS IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY THAT DOESN'T HELP ME WITH THE PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING. *TR
