Just as we suspected, it was only a matter of days until the Canadian Triumph recall would be extended to the US market.
However, we're dealing with other figures, as at least 2800 Triumph bikes are targeted by the recall, as opposed to the 338 north of the lakes.

The issue is known: the bikes' ECU hardware and software may improperly detect the position of the throttle and this could result in shutting the engine down, with significant risks of a crash.

2012-2014 Tiger Explorer ABS A1, 2013-2014 Tiger Explorer Spoke ABS XC A1 and Trophy SE A1 motorcycles manufactured November 17, 2011, through December 16, 2013 are expected at the dealers for a anew ECU hardware and software, free of charge.

Triumph's recall is scheduled to start in early February, but customers can also get in touch with Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD at 1-678-854-2010. The NHTSA campaign has the number 14V009000.
