What's wrong?
The steering column on 2013-2015 Campagna T-Rex motorcycles is the metal shaft assembly that carries the driver's steering input down to the steering rack. The rack then turns that input into side-to-side movement at the front wheels. On this three-wheel vehicle, that connection has to stay tight so the wheels respond when the driver turns the wheel.
In recall 16V104, the problem is the way the steering column was connected to the steering rack during assembly. Campagna found that quality checks and installation instructions were not specific enough for the installer. If the connection was made incorrectly, the steering column can separate from the rack instead of transferring steering input to the wheels.
The warning sign is a loose feeling between the steering and the wheels. If the steering feels loose, delayed, or disconnected, stop using the vehicle and have the steering connection inspected under the recall.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the steering column disconnects from the steering rack, the driver loses steering control and crash risk increases. Treat a loose feeling between the steering wheel and wheels as a reason to pull over safely and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Campagna dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2015 Campagna T-Rex is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Campagna dealer to schedule the free steering-column inspection and correction that secures the column-to-rack connection.
- Bring the recall notice if Campagna mailed one. If not, reference recall number 16V104 when you call.
- Drive only as needed until the repair is complete, and leave extra room because a steering disconnect would remove steering control.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Campagna technician inspects the steering column to steering rack assembly and corrects the connection if it is not secured properly. Parts and labor are covered under recall 16V104. Campagna has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for a related steering repair before the recall work. Bring repair invoices and payment records to the service desk, or contact Campagna customer service for claim instructions.
