I can think of no better day to feature a recall than Hump Day, and we have a report from the NHTSA (coverage originally sourced from RideApart) showing some Triumph models that are in danger of an engine stall.
According to the NHTSA report, Triumph identified customer complaints on February 23rd, with July 23rd finalizing the verified symptoms of the issue.
Apparently, around 7,541 of Triumph’s 2021 (MY2022) – MY2024 Trident 660s and Tiger Sport 660s are suffering from inaccurate MAP data, which is traveling to the bike’s ECU, resulting in wonky power ratings (things that manifest in the form of irregular engine idle revs, and a stalled engine).
Here’s a closer look at the VINS and production dates of the affected bikes:
2022-2024 Trident 660
Production dates of affected bikes: Between January 6, 2021, and July 27, 2023
Affected VIN range: SMTL10UL5NTAE9988-SMTL10UL8RTBP8186
2022-2024 Triumph Tiger Sport 660
Production dates of affected bikes: Between August 3, 2021 and August 4, 2023
Affected VIN range: SMTL20UL6NTAV5235-SMTL20UL2RTBP8617.
In this case, the bike’s restrictor is obstructed and needs to be fixed; reparation will likely be a simple matter, seeing as the original single hose part (part number T1294321) merely requires the installation of a 3-part hose (part number T1249666), with authorized Triumph dealers called to “perform [the] inspection and service at no cost to the customer.”
Dealerships were notified on August 18th, and we’re told owners will be notified at the very end of August; as ever, here’s the information on who you can contact about this problem:
