Hey everyone, there is a new brake recall here in the US (hopefully everywhere) for the rear brake issue many of us have experienced. They are replacing the rear brake master cylinder with a new, larger one. Apparently the NHTSA started investigating this in March of 23. I complained to them in January of this year and they took my bike for 2 months, so maybe I helped get this going lol. This is what the recall says when I enter my VIN:
Summary A small number of motorcycles within the affected VIN range that have been parked or stored for long periods of time may demonstrate noticeably increased rear brake pedal travel than that previously experienced prior to storage. In the event of an affected motorcycle being stored, the rear brake pedal must be depressed over a greater distance than prior to storage before the brake engages. A small number of motorcycles that are used regularly may also demonstrate smaller increases in brake pedal travel. Once engaged, rear brake performance is unaffected. Note: Front brakes are not affected and will remain fully functional.
Safety Risk On unrepaired affected motorcycles, where pre-ride safety checks have not been completed, this increased pedal travel can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy Triumph Motorcycles Ltd has authorized your dealer to replace the Rear Brake Master Cylinder, free of charge to you including parts and labor.
