Summary by Recall Canary from the NHTSA notice

What happened

Teko Inc (Teko) is recalling certain 2026 Triumph, Turbo, TurboLite, Trophy, and Trophy Plus vehicles. The acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) may not have been installed, preventing the vehicle from making pedestrian warning sounds.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles." A vehicle that does not make a sound may fail to alert pedestrians of an approaching vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

The recall was reported to NHTSA on June 30, 2026, and affects vehicles distributed nationwide. Teko will provide an AVAS kit, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 17, 2026.
