Triumph never tried to hide the steering defect, they were late with filing the paperwork to NHTSA. For all we know Triumph issued a fix to the owners of those bikes ASAP, long before the filing dates. We don't know.
Most Triumph recalls concern fuel injection IT problems.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
