On February 4, 2022, Triumph Motorcycles America issued a safety recall for certain 2022 Triumph Tridents due to a potentially faulty side stand. On affected units, the side stand may bend over time, which could cause the bike to become unstable and tip over. This may happen gradually, as the bike leans further and further before finally falling.
Around 314 units sold in the U.S. are believed to be affected, which is about 1 percent of the population. All affected bikes were produced between February 7, 2021, and May 15, 2021. Production has since changed to an appropriately robust side stand unit, so bikes outside this range are not believed to be affected. The VIN range for bikes included in this recall is between SMTL10UL0NTAF8694 and SMTL10UL7NTAT4932.
