What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Triumph Motorcycles America Ltd is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Street Triple, Street Triple R, and Daytona 675 motorcycles. The recall involves 10,366 vehicles in the United States.
