ALL FOUR TURN INDICATORS HAVE HAD THE MOUNTING STALKS FAIL. THE LIGHT THEN HANGS BY THE POWER WIRES. ONE INDICATOR FAILED OVERNIGHT WHILE PARKED IN THE GARAGE. THREE FAILED DURING NORMAL RIDING ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS WITH NO EXTERNAL FORCE OTHER THAN NORMAL RIDING VIBRATION. TRIUMPH RECALLED CERTAIN 2012 TIGER 800XC VIN NUMBERS, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE MINE. THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED THIS MOTORCYCLE AS IT IS PROMOTED AS BENG CAPABLE OF RIDING ON UNIMPROVED ROADS.
MY MOTORCYCLE HAS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW THAT IS APPARENT ON MY MACHINE, AS WELL AS ALL OTHERS I PERSONALLY KNOW WITH THE SAME VEHICLE, INCLUDING 2011+ 800 AND 800XC. WHEN OPERATED IN AREAS WHERE DUST AND DIRT ARE PRESENT, SUCH AS DIRT ROADS, THE IDLE CONTROL WILL FAIL AND RENDER THE MOTORCYCLE UNABLE TO IDLE. THIS MEANS IT IS UNABLE TO START, STALLS WHEN SHIFTING AND UNABLE TO STOP WITHOUT IT STALLING. I AND OTHERS HAVE UNINTENTIONALLY BLOCKED TRAFFIC AT INTERSECTIONS, CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE, AND CAN HAVE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES ON THE ROAD…
I HAVE A TRIUMPH TIGER 800XC MOTORCYCLE, AND THE BIKE HAS A STALLING PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED IT WAS ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER FOR THE 500 MILES SERVICE, AS I PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT I PULLED IN THE CLUTCH AND THE MOTOR DIED. IT STALLED 2 MORE TIMES IN THE 1/4 MILE TO THE DEALER, EVERYTIME I PULLED IN THE CLUTCH IT DIED. I ALSO NOTICED THE BIKE IDLING STRANGE. THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT IT STILL DOES IT. IT ALSO STALLS WHEN YOU ARE JUST TAKING OFF, AS YOU START TO RELEASE THE CLUTCH IT JUST DIES, THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME , IF …
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TRIUMPH TIGER 800 XC MOTORCYCLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TOP TRUNK LOCKING MECHANISM FAILED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE TOP BOX TO FALL TO THE GROUND.

TODAY, THE FOURTH OF ALL FOUR TURN SIGNAL STALKS HAVE BROKEN. THIS HAS ALL OCCURRED IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I CALLED A DEALER AND TRIUMPH AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.
THE STALK ON THE TURN SIGNALS BREAK LEAVING THE TURN SIGNALS NON-FUNCTIONAL. MY VEHICLE HAS LOW MILEAGE AND HAS ONLY BEEN USED ON NORMAL PAVED ROADS. ALL FOUR OF THE PLASTIC STALKS ON THE TURN SIGNALS HAVE BROKEN DURING NORMAL RIDES AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THIS RESULTS IN AN UNPREDICTABLE LOSE OF TURN SIGNALS WITHOUT WARNING DURING A RIDE. REPLACEMENT PARTS SOLD BY TRIUMPH APPEAR TO BE THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.... *BF *BF *TR

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
