Triumph Motorcycles has issued a recall on the 2019-2020 Triumph Street Scrambler and Triumph Street Twin in the United States. The issue is with a misrouted wiring harness that can allow the wires to become damaged. The wiring harness may make contact with the lower lug on the main frame headstock, and constant steering inputs may cause the harness to rub the lug, resulting in wear and potential damage to the wiring over time. The engine may end up stalling unexpectedly, and cause the rider to lose control, and even cause a potential crash.
