front brake failure/malfunction resulting in loss of control and accident. no inspection by dealer or others at this point. No warning lamps appeared only symptom was unanticipated braking performance the last 7-10 days. Issue reported to dealer on 10-22 and inspection appointment made. application of front brake lever failed to slow motorcycle. Additional pressure on lever resulted in over-braking and herky, jerky motion of front wheel creating loss of control, accident and injury. It appears that similar problems have been reported and a recall issued.
Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD (Triumph) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Street Triple RS, Tiger 1200 XCx and Tiger 1200 XCA, 2019-2020 Speed Triple S and Speed Triple RS, 2018-2019 Tiger 1200 XRT, Tiger 1200 XR, Tiger 1200 XRx and Tiger 1200 XRx LRH and 2020 Tiger 1200 Alpine Edition and Tiger 1200 Desert Edition motorcycles. The front brake pads may corrode, potentially causing the front brake pad friction material to detach from the backing plate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the brake pad friction material detaches from the backing plate, it may lengthen the distance needed to stop the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
