Recall Category: Service Brakes, Hydraulic – Brake Pads May Corrode/Detach from Backing Plate

NHTSA Safety Notification 20V236000 reports the front brake pads may corrode, potentially causing the front brake pad friction material to detach from the backing plate.

According to the NHTSA, 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

Triumph will notify registered owners, and dealers will replace the front brake pads, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Triumph Customer Service toll-free at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph’s designation for this recall is SRAN 579.
