Triumph recall: Service brakes, hydraulic
What is wrong
Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD (Triumph) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Street Triple RS, Tiger 1200 XCx and Tiger 1200 XCA, 2019-2020 Speed Triple S and Speed Triple RS, 2018-2019 Tiger 1200 XRT, Tiger 1200 XR, Tiger 1200 XRx and Tiger 1200 XRx LRH and 2020 Tiger 1200 Alpine Edition and Tiger 1200 Desert Edition motorcycles. The front brake pads may corrode, potentially causing the front brake pad friction material to detach from the backing plate.
What could happen
If the brake pad friction material detaches from the backing plate, it may lengthen the distance needed to stop the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake pads, free of charge. The recall began June 26, 2020. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph's number for this recall is SRAN 579.
