Transport Canada recalls

Brakes#2020184April 28, 2020
644 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, the front brake pads could separate. This would cause reduced front braking. Safety Risk: Reduced braking could cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Triumph will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to replace the front brake pads.
Electrical#2018249May 10, 2018
185 units affected
On certain motorcycles, water may enter and contaminate the electrical circuits in the left-hand switch cube, potentially causing the turn signal indicator and headlamp control switches to not function properly. This could result in an operator not being able to clearly signal their intentions to turn and/or change lanes, and a loss of headlamp function would decrease vehicle conspicuity and forward visibility. These conditions could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the left-hand switch cube with a new version.
