What's wrong?
The turn signal stem is the short stalk that holds each signal lamp away from the motorcycle body. On 2012-2013 Triumph Daytona 675, Street Triple, Speed Triple, and Tiger 800 motorcycles, the front and rear signal stems keep the lamps visible to traffic around the bike when the rider signals a turn or lane change.
Because of a manufacturing error, the affected stems do not have the strength they need. The stem can fracture, which lets the turn signal loosen, hang out of position, or separate from its normal mounting point. Once that happens, the signal is harder for other road users to see and the motorcycle no longer communicates the rider's intent as designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should watch for a cracked, loose, or dangling turn signal stem during a walkaround, but the official record does not identify a symptom that appears before the stem breaks.
