Defect Description

Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD (Triumph) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Daytona 675 R and Speed Triple R motorcycles manufactured January 1, 2014, to April 1, 2015. The affected motorcycles may have been built with an improperly manufactured rear shock absorber. The nut on the damper rod for these shock absorbers may loosen, resulting in a loss of damping and the possible disassembling of the shock.

Safety Consequence

If the damper rod nut loosens, shock absorber performance would be affected, possibly causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear shock absorber, free of charge. The recall began on May 7, 2015. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph's number for this recall is SB524.
