Triumph is recalling 244 2013 Trophy motorcycles under recall 12V592 because the tire and certification label lists incorrect tire data. Owners who rely on that label can install incorrect replacement tires, which raises the risk of personal injury; the Triumph dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The certification and tire information label on a 2013 Triumph Trophy tells the owner and service shop which tire data applies to the motorcycle. That label is supposed to match the motorcycle as built, so tire selection, rim information, and certification details can be checked without guessing from a manual or parts catalog.
On affected Trophy motorcycles, the label was printed with incorrect tire data. The problem is the label itself, not a failed tire or wheel described in the recall. Because the label does not match the federal tire and certification requirements for this motorcycle, an owner or technician can rely on information that Triumph later identified as wrong.
There is no warning sign before failure. The motorcycle does not give a light, noise, vibration, or handling change just because the label is incorrect, so the issue is found by checking whether the VIN is included in recall 12V592 and having the label corrected.

Not every 2013 Triumph Trophy motorcycle is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorcycle is included.
What's the safety risk?
The tire information label can lead an owner to install the wrong replacement tires, increasing the risk of personal injury. If your VIN is included, confirm the label before replacing tires and ask a Triumph dealer to inspect the motorcycle. Repair will be free at any franchised Triumph dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013 Triumph Trophy is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Triumph dealer if your VIN is included; Triumph's filing says affected motorcycles were to be repaired before sale.
- Ask the dealer to confirm the tire-data label was corrected, since the wrong label can lead to incorrect replacement tires.
- Reference recall number 12V592 when you call, and keep the dealer's repair confirmation with your records.
- Call Triumph at 1-678-854-2010 for questions about this label recall.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Triumph technician corrects the tire and certification labeling information before the motorcycle is sold. The recall repair is free. Triumph's filing says none of the affected Trophy motorcycles had been sold to consumers, so an owner notification letter was not issued for this campaign. If a VIN is included and the motorcycle is still in dealer inventory, the dealer completes the repair before retail delivery.
