The defect
Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD (Triumph) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Triumph Street Cup motorcycles. The wiring harness for the hazard warning lights may be pulled and strained during normal steering action.
The risk
The pulled wires may cause the wires to pull loose from the connector resulting in a loss of the hazard warning lights, reducing the motorcycles visibility when hazard warning lights are wanted, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will extend the wiring length by installing a supplemental harness, free of charge. The recall began July 18, 2017. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph's number for this recall is Safety Recall 549.
