5 recalls across 5 model years
The Triumph Speed Triple RS has 5 recalls spanning 2018 through 2024, with the most serious affecting 2022 models where rear brake disc bolts can loosen, contact surrounding components, and prevent the rear wheel from spinning freely, creating a crash risk.
The 2022-2024 model years also have two related cooling system issues: the radiator fan can overheat and fail, and separately the engine itself can run hot enough to kill the fan motor. In either case, the result is a coolant leak or spray of hot fluid that can reach the rider or create a hazard on the road. The 2022-2023 years are covered by one filing and the 2022-2024 years by another, but both point to the same practical outcome of a failed fan and leaking coolant.
On 2019 models, the quickshifter assembly body can press against the gear change linkage and interfere with shifts, causing a missed gear or false neutral. When that happens, the motorcycle can lose acceleration abruptly mid-corner or in traffic.
Going back to 2018-2019, certain brake pads can have the friction material separate from the metal backing plate. With part of the pad gone, stopping distances can lengthen significantly.
