STRUCTURE:MOTORCYCLE:KICKSTAND/CENTER STAND
- The defect
- Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD (Triumph) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Thruxton, 2016-2019 Thruxton R and 2020 Thruxton TFC motorcycles. The side stand spring may fracture, possibly allowing the side stand switch to activate and shut off the engine.
- What it can cause
- An engine stall increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will replace the side stand spring, free of charge. The recall began February 24, 2020. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph's number for this recall is SRAN 570.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 3,244 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 71% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Triumph vehicles have been recalled over the structure 5 times before this, most recently in December 2014 as 14V765000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 3 of the 8 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 34 complaints with NHTSA, 3 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the structure, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in December 2016, 3 years before this filing.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD with NHTSA on January 15, 2020 as campaign 20V015000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
