What's wrong?
The throttle cables on the 2012 Triumph Daytona 675 and Street Triple connect the twist grip on the handlebar to the engine's throttle. When you roll the grip on or off, the cables move the throttle plates so the engine gets more or less air and fuel. A cable guide keeps those cables routed in the right path as the handlebar turns.
On affected motorcycles, Triumph says the bikes were assembled without that throttle cable guide. Without the guide, the cables are not held in their intended position near the steering area. As the handlebar moves, a cable can be pulled, pinched, or routed where it interferes with normal throttle movement.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the throttle feel changes, binds, or does not return smoothly when released, treat that as a reason to stop riding and contact a Triumph dealer.
Who's affected?
The same cable and handlebar items apply to both listed models.
| 2012 Triumph Daytona 675 | Cables |
|---|---|

| 2012 Triumph Street Triple | Cables |
| 2012 Triumph Street Triple | steering wheel |
| Units affected | 652 |
A matching 2012 Triumph Daytona 675 or Street Triple does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorcycle is included.
What's the safety risk?
Without the throttle cable guide, the cables can move freely and get trapped in the steering stop. That can restrict steering and affect the rider's control of the motorcycle, which increases the risk of a crash. Stop riding if steering feels restricted and call a franchised Triumph dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Triumph dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2012 Triumph Daytona 675 or Street Triple is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Triumph dealer to ask when the free throttle-cable-guide repair can be scheduled.
- Schedule the throttle-cable-guide installation that keeps the throttle cables out of the steering stop and helps preserve steering control.
- Bring the recall notice if Triumph mailed one. If not, reference recall number 13V215 when you call.
- Ride cautiously until the repair is complete, and stop using the motorcycle if the steering binds or the throttle cables feel abnormal.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Triumph technician installs a throttle cable guide so the throttle cables are routed and retained as intended. Triumph's remedy states that this installation is free of charge, and the recall repair began on May 30, 2013. Call a Triumph dealer with your VIN and campaign 13V215 to confirm parts handling for your Daytona 675 or Street Triple before you take the motorcycle in.
