The 2022 Triumph Bonneville T120 has 3 recalls, all centered on the same electrical fire risk: wiring between the alternator and the main harness connector can short circuit and overheat, raising the risk of fire while riding.
The core defect is alternator wiring that can short and overheat, and prior dealer repairs did not fully resolve the issue for all affected motorcycles. On some bikes, the wiring was not routed correctly during the earlier repair, leaving it exposed to movement and heat that can damage the insulation and cause a short circuit. A second repair is required for those vehicles. Taken together, the risk across all three filings is the same: an electrical fault that can produce enough heat to start a fire on the motorcycle.
