The defect
Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD (Triumph) is recalling certain 2018 Street Triple R, Street Triple R - Low Seat and Street Triple RS motorcycles. Water may get into the left-hand combination switch on the handlebar and cause the turn signal switch and the headlight switch to malfunction.
The risk
If the turn signal and headlight switches do not function properly, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
The remedy
Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will replace the handlebar left-hand combination switch, free of charge. The recall began June 22, 2018. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
