NHTSA Complaint #10881290 — 2008 TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE

RIGHT FOOT PEG BROKE OFF WHEN I PUT MY WEIGHT ON IT TO MOUNT THE MOTORCYCLE. MOTORCYCLE WAS STATIONARY IN THIS INSTANCE, BUT COULD HAPPEN AT SPEED IF A RIDER WERE TO STAND ON THE PEGS WHILE RIDING. THE BOLT ATTACHING THE FOOT PEG CLEVIS TO THE FRAME FRACTURED. PICTURES OF THE FACE OF THE BOLT ATTACHED. I AM UNAWARE OF A PRIOR ACCIDENT INVOLVING THIS VEHICLE THAT WOULD HAVE COMPROMISED THAT BOLT, ALTHOUGH THE BIKE HAS BEEN DROPPED SLOWLY ON THAT SIDE WHILE THAT BIKE WAS NOT IN MOTION. I AM THE MOTORCYCLE'S ORIGINAL OWNER. THE BOLT MAY BE TOO WEAK FOR THE APPLICATION. I AM AWARE OF SEVERAL OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS BOLT BREAKING, SOMETIMES WHILE THE MOTORCYCLE IS IN MOTION.
