Defect. Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD (Triumph) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Daytona 675 R and Speed Triple R motorcycles manufactured January 1, 2014, to April 1, 2015. The affected motorcycles may have been built with an improperly manufactured rear shock absorber. The nut on the damper rod for these shock absorbers may loosen, resulting in a loss of damping and the possible disassembling of the shock.

Risk. If the damper rod nut loosens, shock absorber performance would be affected, possibly causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear shock absorber, free of charge. The recall began on May 7, 2015. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph's number for this recall is SB524.

RECALL NO: 15V-255 MY TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLE HAD A VERY GENTLE SLIDE AS I WAS MAKING A TURN. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC WEATHER CONDITIONS DRY NIGHT NO HURRY. AS I PICKED THE BIKE UP OFF THE GROUND I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS TRYING TO FIND MY MISTAKE BUT I MADE NO ERRORS. I'VE BEEN RIDING FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN. I CALL MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO FILE A CLAIM BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM TO BAD. I CALLED DEALER THEY CAME OUT TO HOUSE AND PICKED UP AND TOOK IN FOR REPAIRS. I FELT LIKE IS WAS MY FAULT SO I SHOULD JUST PAY FOR IT. SO I DID. 6 MONTHS LATER I RECEIVE A LETTER SAYING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BIKE SUSPENSION AND TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER RECEIVED A NOTICE ON THE RECALL AND THEY GAVE ME A CALL TO BRING BIKE BACK IN TO REPLACE PART. SINCE THAT 2014 ACCIDENT THE BIKE HAS ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE BLEW UP. THE DEALER CUT MY LIGHTS ON MY BIKE AND DIDN'T CONNECT THEM BACK UP. I LOOKED AT OIL WASHER ON OIL PLUG AND ITS BENT SCRAPPED UP LIKE THEY DIDN'T REPLACE THE ENGINE. I WONDER IF THEY REPLACED THE SHOCK. SO I ALSO LOOKED INTO TRIUMPH'S HISTORY WITH THIS SHOCK ABSORBER. THEY'VE HAD TROUBLE FOR YEARS ON THE 675. PEOPLE HAVE DIED DO THEY USED A 3RD PARTY TO MAKE THE SHOCK AND STILL HAVE IT WRONG. THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FOR THE DEATH OF RIDER IN CA. THE MANUFACTURE KNEW THE PART WAS NOT STABLE AND PRODUCED PRODUCT ANYWAY. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF FILING MY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST MANUFACTURE. ACCORDING TO DATES OF RECALL

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
