Triumph Recalls 2026 Trident 800 Motorcycles for Headlight Software Error

Triumph is recalling 2026 Trident 800 motorcycles because a software error may cause low beams to illuminate improperly, reducing visibility.

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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a lighting defect that reduces visibility and increases crash risk, but no injuries or fatalities are reported, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Triumph Motorcycles America, Ltd. is recalling certain 2026 Trident 800 motorcycles. During pre-delivery inspection, a diagnostic tool may have loaded an incorrect headlight low beam configuration. This causes the low beams to illuminate improperly, meaning the vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108.

Insufficient illumination from the headlight low beam can reduce rider visibility, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.

Dealers will update the diagnostic software free of charge to correct the issue. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 20, 2026. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010. The recall number is SRAN 643.
