5 recalls across 3 model years
The Triumph TR7 has 5 recalls covering the 1975–1977 production run, with the most serious being a 1977-only defect where the optional spoked wheel can develop fatigue cracks and fail, causing loss of vehicle control. The 1976 model year has a separate structural concern: rear axle brackets that support the suspension arms may be poorly welded and could allow suspension movement or failure while driving. On 1975 models, the accelerator pedal connection to the throttle cable can break, removing the driver's ability to control engine speed.
The two lower-severity recalls also affect 1975 models. The retractable headlamp lift motor, its limit switch, and associated wiring can allow water ingress and fail, leaving the headlamps unable to raise or lower. The windshield wiper linkage can work loose and either strain or allow water into the wiper motor, causing the wipers to stop clearing the windshield.
