Triumph Motorcycles America is recalling certain 2024 and 2025 TF 250-X motorcycles due to an issue with the plastic used in the switch cube on the right handlebar. What's the problem? This plastic apparently reacts badly when exposed to brake fluid, which is a problem given its proximity to the brake reservoir.
If exposed to brake fluid, the plastic used in making the right switch cube may crack. This could, in turn, cause a short circuit, which could cause the motorcycle to unexpectedly start. For obvious reasons, this could pose a safety hazard.
Triumph is notifying all registered owners of affected TF 250-X motorcycles directly, and also advises that all owners of these bikes immediately stop riding them, disconnect the battery, and contact their local authorized Triumph Motorcycle dealer regarding this recall.
