What's wrong

Triumph Motorcycles Ltd, (Triumph) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Trophy and Trophy SE motorcycles manufactured September 2012 through March 2013. The two layers used in the construction of the fuel tank may have failed to adhere, which may result in a fuel leak.

Consequence

If the fuel tank leaks, the unexpected fuel loss may lead to an engine stall while riding, increasing the risk of a crash. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may also result in a fire.

Remedy

Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel tank. The recall began on June 7, 2013. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-888-283-5288.
