The front brake pads on affected motorcycles may corrode, potentially causing the front brake pad friction material to detach from the backing plate, NHTSA said. 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 is notifying owners and dealers will replace the front brake pads, free of charge. This recall began on June 24, 2020.
