“Today, the fourth of all four turn signal stalks have broken. This has all occurred in the past few months. I called a dealer and Triumph and was told that my VIN number was not included on the recall for this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11024598, filed 2017-09, 53,000 miles“The stalk on the turn signals break leaving the turn signals non-functional. My vehicle has low mileage and has only been used on normal paved roads. All four of the plastic stalks on the turn signals have broken during normal rides at different times. This results in an unpredictable lose of turn signals without warning during a ride. Replacement parts sold by Triumph appear to be the same as the original equipment....”
NHTSA complaint #11113666, filed 2018-07, 6,000 miles“All four turn indicators have had the mounting stalks fail. The light then hangs by the power wires. One indicator failed overnight while parked in the garage. Three failed during normal riding on streets and highways with no external force other than normal riding vibration. Triumph recalled certain 2012 tiger 800xc VIN numbers, but did not include mine. The recall should have included this motorcycle as it is promoted as beng capable of riding on unimproved roads.”
