Triumph Daytona 675 R Recall 15V255: Rear Shock Nut May Loosen, Risking Loss of Control

NHTSA campaign 15V255, reported April 29, 2015, 566 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2014-2015 Triumph Daytona 675 R and Speed Triple R motorcycles built between January 1, 2014 and April 1, 2015 may have an improperly manufactured rear shock absorber. The nut on the damper rod can loosen, which reduces shock damping and can allow the shock to come apart.

If the damper rod nut loosens, shock performance is affected, which could cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. Owners should take this seriously and have their motorcycle checked promptly.

Triumph will notify affected owners, and authorized dealers will replace the rear shock absorber free of charge. You can contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010 and reference recall SB524. You can also check your VIN for open recalls.

The repair is normally free at an authorized dealer.
