2006 Triumph Speed Triple recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Triumph is recalling 265 my 2008 street Triple motorcycles. The rear suspension unit (rsu) damping performance is controlled by a mixture of gas and oil contained within the unit. This mixture is kept inside the unit by control oil/gas seals. If the seals become damaged, the mixture will escape.
💥 The risk
Once the mixture has escaped the rsu, the rear suspension will lose it damping ability. The rear suspension will be controlled only by the action of the coil spring also attached to the rsu.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the rsu on affected motorcycles. The recall began on april 11, 2008. Owners may contact triumph at 1-678-854-2010.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
