The Ohlins TTX36 rear shock recall has claimed another OEM with Transport Canada announcing a recall on the 2014-2015 Triumph (http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/triumph.html) Daytona 675R. This follows other recalls for the same issue affecting the Yamaha YZF-R1M (http://blog.motorcycle.com/2015/05/06/manufacturers/yamaha/nhtsa-confirms-us-recall-2015-yamaha-yzf-r1m/) and Honda CBR1000RR SP (http://blog.motorcycle.com/2015/04/22/manufacturers/honda/honda-cbr1000rr-sp-affected-ohlins-ttx36-recall/) and Ohlins’ own recall for aftermarket TTX36 shocks (http://blog.motorcycle.com/2015/04/02/products/ohlins-recalls-aftermarket-ttx36-shocks/).
Transport Canada’s announcement originally listed the Street Triple R as being included in the recall, but it uses Kayaba suspension components instead of Ohlins. A quick call to Transport Canada confirmed that the announcement was in error and the recall should instead list the Speed Triple R which does use an Ohlins TTX36. Transport Canada has since corrected its posting. (ed- You’re welcome, Transport Canada.)

As with the other recalls, the issue stems from insufficient tightening of the piston rod nut on affected rear shocks. The nut may loosen and may cause a loss of rear suspension.
Dealers will inspect recalled units and, if necessary, replace the rear shock absorber with a correctly manufactured part.

The Canadian recall affects 41 units. As of this writing, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has yet to announce a similar recall for the Triumph models but we expect a U.S. recall to come soon.
