Triumph recalls 2026 Trident 800 motorcycles over incorrect headlight low beam setting

A diagnostic tool used during pre-delivery inspection may have loaded the wrong low beam setting, so the headlight may not light the road well enough, which can make it harder for riders to see and raise crash risk.

What to do

Dealers will update the diagnostic software for free. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010 and refer to recall number SRAN 643.
