Triumph Trident 800 Recall 26V195: Dim low beams can reduce rider visibility

NHTSA campaign 26V195, reported March 27, 2026, 258 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

A diagnostic tool used during pre-delivery inspection may have loaded an incorrect headlight low beam configuration. As a result, the low beams may not illuminate properly, and the motorcycle does not meet federal lighting requirements.

Reduced low-beam illumination lowers how well you can see the road ahead and how well other drivers can see you, which increases the risk of a crash. Dealers will update the diagnostic software free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 20, 2026, and you can contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010 with questions.

Check your VIN for open recalls on NHTSA.gov, which made affected VINs searchable starting April 1, 2026. If your motorcycle is involved, contact an authorized Triumph dealer to schedule the free update.
