Defect. Triumph Motorcycles America Ltd (Triumph) is recalling certain model year 2013 Trophy SE motorcycles manufactured June 1, 2012, through February 28, 2013. In the affected motorcycles, the left hand center stand mount may fracture.

Risk. If the center mount fractures, it will not provide adequate support for the center stand while the vehicle is parked and may cause the motorcycle to fall over, increasing the risk of injury to those nearby.

Remedy. Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will install a new center stand bracket to the left hand side of the motorcycle frame. The recall is expected to begin during January 2014. Customers may contact Triumph at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph's number for this recall is SB508RM2013/033.

BIKE SHUTS OFF OCCASIONALLY WHEN THE STEERING IS PUSHED HARD TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL ON SEVERAL OWNER FORUMS AND IS CAUSED BY A STRETCHED IGNITION WIRE WHICH TRIUMPH WILL NOT PROVIDE A REPAIR FOR UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THE BIKE SHUTS OFF WHEN TURNING.

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.
