Problem 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. 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. Fix 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.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. Safety Recall 549 is the number Triumph assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 17V426000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.
