Shock Absorber Damping Rod Nut may Loosen/Detach

NHTSA #15V255000 · Suspension — Rear · NHTSA notice

Reported April 29, 2015 · Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD

Potentially affected: 566 vehicles

Repair completion: 89.93% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Triumph campaign SB524 · Owners notified May 7, 2015 · Vehicles built January 1, 2014 – April 1, 2015 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD (Triumph) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Daytona 675 R and Speed Triple R motorcycles manufactured January 1, 2014, to April 1, 2015. The affected motorcycles may have been built with an improperly manufactured rear shock absorber. The nut on the damper rod for these shock absorbers may loosen, resulting in a loss of damping and the possible disassembling of the shock.

Safety consequence

If the damper rod nut loosens, shock absorber performance would be affected, possibly causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear shock absorber, free of charge. The recall began on May 7, 2015. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph's number for this recall is SB524.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Incident: December 1, 2014 · Filed: April 20, 2016

RECALL NO: 15V-255 MY TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLE HAD A VERY GENTLE SLIDE AS I WAS MAKING A TURN. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC WEATHER CONDITIONS DRY NIGHT NO HURRY. AS I PICKED THE BIKE UP OFF THE GROUND I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS TRYING TO FIND MY MISTAKE BUT I MADE NO ERRORS. I'VE BEEN RIDING FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN. I CALL MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO FILE A CLAIM BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM TO BAD. I CALLED DEALER THEY CAME OUT TO HOUSE AND PICKED UP AND TOOK IN FOR REPAIRS. I FELT LIKE IS WAS MY FAULT SO I SHOULD JUST PAY FOR IT. SO I DID. 6 MONTHS LATER I RECEIVE A LETTER SAYING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BIKE SUSPENSION AND TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER RECEIVED A NOTICE ON THE RECALL AND THEY GAVE ME A CALL TO BRING BIKE BACK IN TO REPLACE PART. SINCE THAT 2014 ACCIDENT THE BIKE HAS ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE BLEW UP. THE DEALER CUT MY LIGHTS ON MY BIKE AND DIDN'T CONNECT THEM BACK UP. I LOOKED AT OIL WASHER ON OIL PLUG AND ITS BENT SCRAPPED UP LIKE THEY DIDN'T REPLACE THE ENGINE. I WONDER IF THEY REPLACED THE SHOCK. SO I ALSO LOOKED INTO TRIUMPH'S HISTORY WITH THIS SHOCK ABSORBER. THEY'VE HAD TROUBLE FOR YEARS ON THE 675. PEOPLE HAVE DIED DO THEY USED A 3RD PARTY TO MAKE THE SHOCK AND STILL HAVE IT WRONG. THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FOR THE DEATH OF RIDER IN CA. THE MANUFACTURE KNEW THE PART WAS NOT STABLE AND PRODUCED PRODUCT ANYWAY. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF FILING MY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST MANUFACTURE. ACCORDING TO DATES OF RECALL MY BIKE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BEFORE SOLD. I PLACED LED LIGHTS ON BIKE BECAUSE I WAS HIT BY A CAR IN 2013. THE DEALER DIDN'T THINK WAS IMPORTANT SO I WILL ALSO FILE FOR DAMAGES ON REPAIRS ON MY BIKE. I ALSO WAS RIDING AFTER DEALER FIXED BIKE AND THE GROUND WIRE ON THE BATTERY CAME A LOOSE LUCKY I WAS RIDING. THE BIKE HAS PROBLEMS GOING INTO GEARS. I SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH SUZUKI.
