Potential starting issue prompts Triumph TF250-X motorcycle recall

A voluntary recall has been issued for Triumph TF250-X closed course competition motorcycles from model years 2024 and 2025. The recalled motorcycles have a right-hand plastic switch cube that can crack when exposed to brake fluid, which may allow water to enter and cause the motorcycle to start unexpectedly.

This issue was identified during internal testing, and no injuries have been reported. About 700 units are affected in this recall. The motorcycles were sold nationwide through authorized Triumph dealers between August 2023 and January 2025.

Triumph Motorcycles America is working with regulators to address this matter, pulling affected inventory from distribution and offering free repairs.
