Medium riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Triumph. On certain motorcycles, an incorrect washer was installed under the neutral switch during vehicle assembly. This could allow the neutral indicator light to remain illuminated when a gear is selected. As a result, the vehicle operator could mistakenly believe that the transmission is in the neutral position and release the clutch, allowing the vehicle to suddenly surge forward. This could cause a crash resulting in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the neutral switch washer. Published 2013-08-26.
