Triumph Street CUP Recall 17V426: Hazard lights may fail from strained motorcycle wiring

NHTSA campaign 17V426, reported July 3, 2017, 636 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain motorcycles have a hazard warning light wiring harness that can be pulled and strained during normal steering. Over time, the wires can pull loose from the connector, causing the hazard warning lights to stop working. Without working hazard lights, the motorcycle is less visible to other drivers when they are needed, which increases the risk of a crash.

The remedy is free. Dealers will install a supplemental harness that extends the wiring length, eliminating the strain. Triumph will notify affected owners directly.

If you own a 2017 or 2018 Triumph Street Cup, check your VIN for open recalls and contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010 about Safety Recall 549 to schedule the free repair at an authorized dealer.
