2022 Triumph Speed Triple RR And RS May Have Brake Disc Bolt Issue

All 2022 bikes are affected, with official notifications coming soon.

Triumph Motorcycles America announced a safety recall for all 2022 Speed Triple 1200 RR and Speed Triple 1200 RS motorcycles on March 31, 2022, due to the danger of a rear brake disc bolt releasing unexpectedly. If one of the rear brake disc nuts loosens, it may cause interference with other nearby components, preventing the wheel from moving freely as it should.

A total of 910 bikes are thought to be impacted, accounting for 100% of the population. Triumph discovered the problem to be “an improper thread shape in the rear axle [which] fails to activate the thread locking compound given by the mating bolt” after an inquiry. The following is a list of models, manufacture dates, and VINs that are affected:

Because the affected bikes would have been covered under the manufacturer’s existing limited warranty, Triumph did not file a reimbursement plan with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regarding owners who may have already have had this repair performed prior to the recall being issued.
