Plain-English summary
Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD is recalling certain model year 2012 Daytona 675 and Street Triple motorcycles. The affected vehicles were manufactured between June and November 2012 for the Street Triple, and between July and October 2012 for the Daytona 675. A total of 652 vehicles are affected by this recall.
The defect involves motorcycles that may have been assembled without a guide for the throttle cables. Without this guide, the cables may move freely and become trapped in the steering stop.

Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will install a throttle cable guide free of charge. The recall began on May 30, 2013. Owners may contact Triumph at 1-678-854-2010 for more information. Customers may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit safercar.gov.
