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.

Crash reported1 injury reported

I WAS RIDING MY TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE MOTORCYCLE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE BIKE JUST SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. I LOST ALL POWER AND THE BIKE WOULD NOT RESTART. I TRIED TO QUICKLY CHANGE LANES TO GET TO THE SHOULDER, BUT WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A CAR. THE BIKE SLID AND I WAS INJURED IN THE FALL. I HAD THE BIKE TOWED AND DISCOVERED THAT THE REGULATOR/RECTIFIER HAD FAILED. THE BATTERY WOULD NOT CHARGE AS A RESULT SO I LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. THE BIKE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 6 MONTHS AND EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE BIKE, TRIUMPH REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE PART, THE LABOR OR MY MEDICAL EXPENSES. I PURCHASED A NEW PART ONLINE AND REPLACED IT MYSELF. THIS IS A COMMON AND WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MOTORCYCLE. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PART FAIL IN THE FIRST HUNDRED MILES THEY HAVE THE BIKE. *TR
