THE RECALL: Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD (Triumph) is recalling certain accessory Adjustable Brake Levers, sold as part of an aftermarket lever replacement kit, part number A2021334. These brake levers are intended for installation on 2016 and 2017 Thruxton 1200, Street Twin, Bonneville T120, and Bonneville T120 Black motorcycles. Under certain conditions, the brake levers may contact the handlebar before maximum braking force is applied.

WHAT COULD HAPPEN: Without the ability to apply maximum front braking, the distance needed to stop the motorcycle may be lengthened, increasing the risk of a crash.

THE FIX: Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected brake levers, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in July 2016. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010.
