Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The timing chain has started making a rattle and it sounds like it is going to break. After googling it I found out that hundreds of other owners have had the chain break causing complete engine destruction. Some have had the motor seize causing loss of control. The cost of repairing this is very high and apparently Triumph chooses to let the machines fail after the warranty expires so that they can charge the consumer for the repairs.”
