Transport Canada recalls

Structure#2020011January 16, 2020
454 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, the spring for the side stand could break. This could allow the side stand to drop while riding. If this happens, the side stand switch can engage and cause the engine to stall suddenly. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could 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 install a new side stand spring with a rubber sleeve.
Accessories#2019233May 16, 2019
82 units affected
Issue: This recall is for accessory "Café Racer" fairing kits sold as optional or aftermarket equipment for certain motorcycles. The two conduits that position the wiring harness within the fairing may have insufficient clearance. This could result in damage to the wiring, potentially leading to an engine stall and/or loss of the headlight and/or turn signals. Safety Risk: A loss of lighting or a sudden engine stall could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the wire conduits.

On certain motorcycles, the engine management software may not maintain a stable engine idle when the throttle is opened and closed quickly, with the clutch disengaged. This could result in the engine stalling, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the engine management software.
