Triumph's Trident 800 only hit US showrooms in March, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has already reported that Triumph Motorcycles America has issued a recall. The reason behind the recall is that there's insufficient illumination from the headlight low beam, which can reduce rider visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
During pre-delivery inspection (PDI), the diagnostics tool may have loaded an incorrect headlight low beam configuration, causing the low beams to illuminate improperly on certain 2026 Trident 800 units. Because of this, these motorcycles do not comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
According to the NHTSA, the issue can be remedied by taking your Trident 800 to a dealership, where they will update the diagnostic software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on April 11, 2026. Owners can contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph's number for this recall is SRAN 643.
