Over 400 hundred 2013 Triumph Trophy motorcycles have been recalled due to an issue with the center stand. Apparently the mount for the center stand my break causing the bike to fall over.
From what I can tell from a few Triumph blogs/forums, Triumph has already notified some of the owners who are affected. The recall number from Triumph is SB508RM2013/033.
According to an article on consumeraffairs.com, you can contact Triumph at 678-854-2010.
With nearly 2500 bikes affected BMW is recalling 2012 K1600 GT and K1600 GTL motorcycles for an engine control unit defect that can cause the motorcycles to stall unexpectedly. Apparently an issue with the software is causing the problem. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) notice that this software issue could cause the engine to stall, and increase the likelihood of a crash. The notice states
“A calibration threshold within the throttle valve control software has been determined to be overly sensitive. As a result, under certain operating conditions, an implausible signal may be registered within the engine control unit. If this happens, the engine control unit may initiate a ‘fail safe mode’ (i.e. ‘limp home mode,’ engine speed limited to approximately 2,000 rpm). In rare cases, the engine could stall, increasing the risk of a crash,”
If you have one of this motorcycles you can call BMW customer relations at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.
