Reported: 2020-03-17 (March 17, 2020)
Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD (Triumph) is recalling certain 2013-2017 Trophy SE A1 and 2013 Trophy SE A1 Launch motorcycles. The ignition switch wiring may be damaged due to the improper routing of the front brake hose, possibly resulting in inoperable headlights or taillights or an engine stall.
Consequence: A sudden loss of vehicle lighting or an engine stall increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and reroute the brake hose, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began April 13, 2020. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph's number for this recall is SRAN574.

WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM 3RD GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION FREQUENTLY BYPASSES 2ND GEAR AND GOES INTO NEUTRAL. THIS IS TRUE NEUTRAL, NOT A FALSE NEUTRAL, AS THE NEUTRAL LIGHT COMES ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

I WAS RIDING MY 2017 TRIUMPH TROPHY SE MOTORCYCLE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PIVOT BOLT THAT HOLDS THE GEAR SHIFT PEDAL TO THE BODY OF THE MOTORCYCLE SHEARED OFF. AS A RESULT I WAS STUCK IN FIFTH GEAR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR A MOTORCYCLIST SINCE THERE IS NO WAY TO SLOW THE BIKE DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY FROM LOW SPEED OR STOP. OBVIOUSLY BEING STUCK IN ANY GEAR IS DANGEROUS AND COULD EASILY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. MY MOTORCYCLE WAS BOUGHT NEW ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO, HAD ABOUT 6,000 MILES OF USE, AND HAD NEVER BEEN DAMAGED IN…
I WAS BACKING UP MY MOTORCYCLE (WHILE IT WAS RUNNING) AND AS I TURNED THE HANDLEBARS TO THE RIGHT, ALL ELECTRICAL SHUT OFF (THE ENGINE INCLUDED). THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME I TURNED THE HANDLEBARS TO THE RIGHT, AND GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, FROM ONLY HAPPENING WHEN TURNING FULL RIGHT TO BARELY TO THE RIGHT OF CENTER, BUT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE RIDE HOME, ABOUT 100 MILES, AS LONG AS I DIDN'T MAKE A RIGHT TURN! FORTUNATELY, ON A MOTORCYCLE, MOST TURNS CAN BE MADE BY LEANING THE BIKE. ANYWAY, THE PROBLEM TURNS OUT TO BE THE WIRING COMING…

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.
