Recalls 1 and 3 describe the same underlying defect (center stand return spring failure) filed in multiple jurisdictions. Treating as one issue. That leaves 3 distinct issues total.
The 2011 Triumph Tiger 800 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving an optional accessory center stand whose return spring can break and allow the stand to drop and drag along the road while riding, creating a crash risk.
There is also a concern with the optional top box: a missing clip on the locking mechanism can allow the box to detach from the motorcycle while underway, sending it into traffic and potentially striking another vehicle. On the mechanical side, the engine can stall during deceleration, cutting power unexpectedly and leaving the rider to manage a coasting motorcycle in whatever traffic or road conditions are present at the time.
