Triumph Motorcycles America, Ltd. — Increased Stopping Distance due to Brake Lever
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
What’s wrong
Without the ability to apply maximum front braking, the distance needed to stop the motorcycle may be lengthened, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What to do
Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected brake levers, free of charge. The recall began July 7, 2016. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010.
