ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
- The defect
- Triumph Motorcycle America, LTD (Triumph) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Street Scrambler and Street Twin motorcycles. The wiring harness may have been misrouted, allowing it to contact the lower lug on main frame headstock.
- What it can cause
- Contact between the harness and the headstock lug can damage the wire and cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will apply a new VIN label protector to prevent wiring harness damage, and, as necessary, damaged wiring harnesses will be repaired or replaced, free of charge. The recall began August 28, 2020. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-800-232-3780. Triumph's number for this recall is SRAN 584.
- 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 2,224 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 67% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Triumph vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 8 times before this, most recently in February 2019 as 19V133000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 August 11, 2020 as campaign 20V472000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
