What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Triumph Motorcycles America, Ltd. is recalling certain 2026 Trident 800 motorcycles. During pre-delivery inspection (PDI), the diagnostic tool may have loaded an incorrect headlight low beam configuration, causing the low beams to illuminate improperly. As such, these motorcycles do not comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

Insufficient illumination from the headlight low beam can reduce rider visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will update the diagnostic software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 20, 2026. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph's number for this recall is SRAN 643. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on April 1, 2026.

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.
