Triumph Recalls 2013 Trophy Motorcycles for Incorrect Tire Labeling

Triumph is recalling 2013 Trophy motorcycles because incorrect tire labels may lead owners to install wrong replacement tires, increasing injury risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where incorrect tire installation could lead to personal injury, but no injuries have been reported and the vehicles have not been sold to consumers.

Plain-English summary

Triumph Motorcycles America Ltd is recalling certain model year 2013 Trophy motorcycles manufactured between September 5, 2012, and November 29, 2012. The recall involves 244 motorcycles that were produced with labels bearing incorrect tire data. These labels fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120 and do not comply with the certification requirements of 49 CFR Part 567.

The defect poses a risk because owners relying on the inaccurate label information may install incorrect replacement tires, which increases the risk of personal injury.

None of the affected motorcycles have been sold to consumers, and they will be repaired prior to sale. Consequently, an owner notification letter will not be issued for this campaign. Owners may contact Triumph at 1-678-854-2010 for more information or contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
