2021 Triumph Street Triple R

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.

This motorcycle has a button controlled LED information display on the left handlebar. The buttons scroll through trip time, average MPG, instant MPG, odometer, trip distance, and range to empty. I need this information to ride safely. I have experienced a failure of this system whenever I have ridden approximately 50 miles or one hour. At that point, the display freezes on whichever element is currently displayed and cannot be changed. I was an hour from home when this first happened and needed to ride home with only the odometer displayed. i have taken the bike back to the Dealer who has not been able to replicate the failure during short test rides. However, the Dealer's technician did see the frozen display when he came to my house to pick up the bike one time. It had unfrozen by the time he got it back to their shop. The system is made up of two elements: the switch element on the left handlebar and the basic computer which generates the information. The dealer has replaced the computer but not the switch box. The problem has not been solved. I would like for them to next replace the switch and display panel on the left handlebar.
