2 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
Reported: 2002-09-10 (September 10, 2002)
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE REAR WHEEL NEEDLE ROLLER BEARING AS FITTED ONLY TO CERTAIN SINGLE SIDED SWINGING ARM MOTORCYCLES CAN DETERIORATE AND SEIZE CAUSING THE REAR WHEEL TO LOCK-UP.
Consequence: THIS CAN CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL REAR WHEEL BEARINGS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN SEPTEMBER 19, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT TRIUMPH AT 1-678-854-2010.
NHTSA campaign record ↗Reported: 2004-04-07 (April 7, 2004)
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE FUEL CONNECTOR LINKING EACH OF THE FEED AND RETURN FUEL HOSES TO THE FUEL PUMP MOUNTING PLATE MAY FRACTURE FOLLOWING IN-SERVICE HANDLING.
Consequence: FUEL COULD ESCAPE FROM THE FRACTURED BODY OF THE CONNECTOR ONTO THE ENGINE OR SIDE OF THE BIKE. FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CONNECTOR. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 30, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT TRIUMPH AT 1-678-854-2010.
