What's wrong?
The front brake hose on the 2013-2017 Triumph Trophy and Trophy Se A1 motorcycles is a flexible hydraulic line that moves brake fluid as the handlebars turn and the front suspension moves. The ignition switch wiring near it carries the electrical connection that keeps the motorcycle powered, including the engine circuit and lighting.
On affected motorcycles, the front brake hose was routed so it can contact the ignition switch wiring during repeated steering inputs. That contact rubs the wiring over time. Once the wire insulation is damaged, the electrical circuit can lose continuity, which can make headlights or taillights stop working or cause the engine to stall.
Riders can notice intermittent engine stalls when the steering is operated. That is the warning sign Triumph identified for this defect, especially if the stall happens while turning the handlebars.

What's the safety risk?
A sudden loss of vehicle lighting or an engine stall increases the risk of a crash. If the motorcycle stalls when steering is operated, stop riding in a safe place and contact a dealer for inspection. Schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Triumph dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2017 Triumph Trophy or Trophy Se A1 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Triumph dealer to schedule the free brake-hose inspection and rerouting that protects the ignition wiring from lighting failure or engine stall.
- Bring the recall notice if Triumph mailed one. If not, reference recall number 20V150 when you call.
- Ride cautiously until the repair is complete. Stop riding if the headlight, taillight, or engine cuts out, and call the dealer before moving the motorcycle again.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Triumph technician inspects the front brake hose routing and reroutes the hose if it is positioned where it can damage the ignition switch wiring. The inspection and hose rerouting are free under recall 20V150. Triumph has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for a related repair before the recall notice. Bring repair orders, receipts, and any diagnostic paperwork to the service desk, or contact Triumph customer service and ask how to submit documentation under that plan.
