2002 Triumph Bonneville America recalls, newest first

June 2, 2004NHTSA 04V2620002,792 vehicles potentially affected

Electrical system › Starter assembly

Summary: 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.
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.
