Triumph recalls Speed Triple due to crash risk

Triumph Motorcycles has issued a recall on certain 2016-2017 Speed Triple R and Speed Triple S motorcycles, when it was found that a wire for the charging system may rub against a bracket for the ABS modulator, potentially resulting in an electrical short. The engine could stall as a result of an electrical short, increasing the risk of a crash.

This recall affects approximately 541 units. Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected wire, rerouting it to avoid contact with the bracket, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in November 2017. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph’s number for this recall is SB552.
