What's wrong?

The engine control unit, or ECU, is the motorcycle's electronic controller for fuel injection and ignition timing. On these 2014-2015 Triumph motorcycles, it tells the fuel injectors when to open so the engine gets the right amount of fuel for each firing cycle.

In this recall, a part inside the ECU fails and the controller improperly activates the fuel injectors. When that happens, the fuel delivery no longer matches what the engine needs. A cylinder then loses ignition, which means that cylinder stops firing as intended and the engine runs unevenly.

The warning sign is a misfire before a cylinder loses all ignition. A rider can feel that as rough running, uneven power, or hesitation instead of the normal smooth engine response.

Who's affected?

Spans cruiser, roadster, classic, and Tiger 800 motorcycle lines across the 2014 and 2015 model years, all tied to the fuel injection system.

What's the safety risk?

Improper fuel-injector signalling can make the engine unexpectedly lose power, which increases crash risk. A misfire is the warning sign listed for this recall; treat it as a reason to pull over when safe and arrange service before riding again. Repair is free at any franchised Triumph dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2015 Triumph motorcycle is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Triumph dealer to schedule the free ECU hardware modification that fixes improper fuel-injector activation and unexpected engine power loss.
