Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD (Triumph) is recalling certain 2013-2017 Trophy SE A1 and 2013 Trophy SE A1 Launch motorcycles. The ignition switch wiring may be damaged due to the improper routing of the front brake hose, possibly resulting in inoperable headlights or taillights or an engine stall.
A sudden loss of vehicle lighting or an engine stall increases the risk of a crash.
Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and reroute the brake hose, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began April 13, 2020. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph's number for this recall is SRAN574.

WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM 3RD GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION FREQUENTLY BYPASSES 2ND GEAR AND GOES INTO NEUTRAL. THIS IS TRUE NEUTRAL, NOT A FALSE NEUTRAL, AS THE NEUTRAL LIGHT COMES ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE. WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM 3RD GEAR, THE EXPECTATION IS THE MOTORCYCLE WILL BE IN 2ND GEAR WHEN THE CLUTCH IS RELEASED. WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS, A LOSS OF CONTROL CAN OCCUR WHEN THE MOTORCYCLE DOES NOT SLOW AS EXPECTED, POTENTIALLY LEADING A RIDER TO OVERSHOOT A CORNER, INTERSECTION, ETC. THIS PROBLEM CAN OCCUR WHENEVER THE MOTORCYCLE IS IN MOTION AND ATTEMPTING TO DOWNSHIFT FROM 3RD GEAR TO 2ND GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE BIKE IN 2019. WHEN I BROUGHT THE BIKE IN FOR THIS CONCERN, TWO DIFFERENT TIMES, THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.
