Recall 04V-262: 2002–2003 Triumph Bonneville America, 2003–2004 Triumph Speedmaster
TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLES (AMERICA) LTD recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Jun 2, 2004, covering about 2,792 vehicles.
The problem
On some motorcycles, under certain assembly conditions, the electrical power supply cable to the starter motor may come into direct contact with the oil cooler return pipe. This could cause the insulation on the starter cable to degrade.
The risk
Should the starter motor cable insulation become worn, a 12-volt electrical short would occur, increasing the risk of a fire or not allowing the motorcycle to start.
The fix
Dealers will examine the cable for signs of contact with the oil cooler pipe. The cable will be re-positioned. The recall began november 20, 2004. Owners should contact triumph at 1-678-854-2010.
Notes
Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
