Another recall from Triumph Motorcycles America, this one affects 3,244 units of certain Triumph Thruxton motorcycles – specifically the 2016-2018 Thruxton, 2016-2019 Thruxton R and 2020 Thruxton TFC.
The recall concerns the bikes’ kickstand spring, which may fracture and possibly allow the kickstand switch to activate and shut off the engine. If this occurs while riding the motorcycle, it could lead to the rider crashing, hence the recall.
Triumph Speed Twin motorcycle owners should take note that their steeds are going in for a winter recall, as it has been discovered that there could be issues with shifting through the gears on the bike.
The recall affects both 2019 and 2020 models of the Speed Twin, with just over 1,300 motorcycles in the recall group.
Harley-Davidson is recalling over 12,000 units of its three-wheeled motorcycles, specifically its 2019 and 2020 FLHTCUTG and FLRT, and 2019 FLHTCUTGSE trikes.
The issue stems from the trikes’ traction control system software, which may respond incorrectly to a faulty rear wheel speed signal by activating one of the rear brakes.
The unintended activation of a rear brake could lead to an unexpected change in vehicle direction, which may increase the risk of a crash. Hence, a recall was started with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Piaggio Group Americas is recalling certain 2019 Vespa GTV 300, 2019 Vespa GTS 300, and 2020 Vespa GTS 300 HPE scooters because of issues with their braking system. In total, there are 1,328 units affected by this recall in the United States.
According to recall documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the J.Juan brake lines on the affected models may have been improperly galvanized, and thus may allow hydrogen to be released into the brake fluid.
Usually, it is the Ducati Diavel family that has issues with its kickstands, but today’s recall focuses on the 2018 lineup of Ducati Multistrada 1260 motorcycles.
As such, Ducati North America is recalling certain 2018 Ducai Multistrada 1260, 1260S, and Pikes Peak motorcycles – 493 units in total – because the side stand may be improperly welded, and potentially could break.
If you own a 2019 Triumph Speed Triple RS, you should heed this latest recall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), as the popular street bike is being recalled for its quickshifter assembly.
The issue stems from the Triumph Shift Assist (TSA) feature, the body of which may contact the gear change linkage clamp assembly, and interfere with gear changes, possibly resulting in a missed gear or false neutral.
If this condition occurs, it may lead to a loss of acceleration. A loss of acceleration without warning may lead to an increased risk of a crash. Hence, the recall.
The title sort of says it all, doesn’t it? American Honda is recalling 4,348 units of its Honda CRF450L dual-sport because the horn may detach itself from the motorcycle.
The issue for the recall stems from the fact that the mounting structure for the horn was insufficiently designed to withstand the vibrations from the single-cylinder engine on the CRF450L.
If you own a 2020 BMW S1000RR, you should pay attention to this recall from BMW Motorrad, as the new superbike may have an oil leak from its oil cooler hoses.
In total, just 416 motorcycles are affected in the United States, which interestingly is the total number of S1000RR machines sold in the American market thus far this year.
Ducati North America is recalling a slew of its high-end superbike models, including certain 2014-2018 model year Ducati 1199 Superleggera, Ducati 1299 Superleggera, Ducati Panigale R, and Ducati 1299 Panigale R FE motorcycles. In total, 651 motorcycles are affected by this recall.
Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) is recalling 6,632 units of its 2019-2020 Can-Am Ryker three-wheeler because their wheel nuts may crack, which could cause the wheels to loosen.
The issue has been tracked back to at least one lot of bad parts, which BRP began receiving from February 7, 2019.
However, once the first parts were introduced into the BRP factory, the Canadian company could not track them with enough precision to reduce the number of vehicles involved in this recall, therefore the remaining production through the 2019 model year has been included in this recall group.
Every now and then we see a recall notice that kind of raises the eyebrow, and makes you wonder if things aren’t just a little too silly sometimes. This is one of those recalls.
This is because 3,147 units of the 2019 Indian Chieftain motorcycle are being recalled because their tail lights are too bright, and exceed the maximum allowed lumens set by the federal government.
As such, this means that the 2019 Indian Chieftain fails to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment” and must be recalled.
