TRIUMPH TIGER 800 Recalls

The Triumph Tiger 800 has 5 recalls covering 2011 and 2012 model years, the most serious being a defective return spring on the optional accessory center stand that can break and allow the stand to drop and drag along the road while riding, creating a crash risk. Recalls 1 and 2 describe the same underlying defect and are treated as a single issue affecting 2011-2012 models equipped with the optional center stand. The accessory top box is also affected on 2011-2012 models: a missing clip in the locking mechanism can allow the box to detach from the motorcycle while underway and strike following traffic. On 2012 models, the brackets supporting the front and rear turn signal lamps were made incorrectly and can break, leaving the lamp assemblies dangling by their wiring and making the rider's turn signals unclear to other drivers. The 2011 model year has an additional issue where the engine can stall during deceleration, cutting drive power and potentially catching the rider off guard in traffic.
