    - RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA

    I AM THE OWNER OF A TRIUMPH 2008 ROCKET CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE VIN #[XXX]. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER (TRIUMPH US) REGARDING AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF ELECTRICAL FAILURES WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE NO GROUNDS FOR COMPLAINT BECAUSE THE WORK IS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. PROBLEMS TO DATE ARE AS FOLLOWS 'IGNITION SWITCH REPLACEMENT 'FULL WIRING HARNESS AND IGNITION SWITCH # 2 REPLACEMENT 'ECU INTERMITTENT CONNECTION 'INTERMITTENT INSTRUMENT LIGHTS .PROBLEM NOT DUPLICATED BUT CONTINUED. 'AS THE WORK ORDER (#30900508) CLEARLY STATES 'UPON INSPECTION TECHNICIAN FOUND LOOSE CONTACT AT HARNESS SIDE OF IGNITION PLUG. DISASSEMBLED PLUG. PLUG WAS CLEANED & MODIFIED TO ENSURE TIGHTER FIT TO CONNECTOR'. FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER THIS CONNECTOR IS ALSO THE CURRENT PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED THE MOTOR TO CUTOUT ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH. A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION I THINK YOU WOULD AGREE? (SO CAL TRIUMPH) I AM A MEMBER OF 2 TRIUMPH FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILURES ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL ARE FREQUENT. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THIS MOTORCYCLE HAS A HIGH DEGREE OF IGNITION SWITCH FAILURES WHICH ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AS THE MOTOR WILL CUTOUT WHILE RIDING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
