The rear brake failed completely. No pressure from the ABS system. There is a recall for this issue and it was already completed. The dealer confirmed the problem happened a second time and performed the recall procedure a second time. Many people have had repeat failures of their rear brake, including myself.
The turn indicators on my motorcycle will randomly fail and the display will read “ left front indicator failure” etc. This has happened on all four indicators and the fault will continue until the motorcycle is shut off. This happens almost daily on one of the four indicators. There is a very real danger of other drivers not knowing of your turning because of an indicator malfunction. Through social media I have learned that this is a problem numerous Rocket 3 owners are having and Triumph has been aware of the problem for months now and has n…
Triumph issued a recall (SRAN 587) regarding the rear braking system. I have had the bike to the dealer twice in which they replaced the rear ABS module and bled the brakes and the problem continues. I have scheduled to take it in for servicing again on 4/28/2022. They have no remedy besides frequent bleeding of the brakes at their expense. I told them I was wanting to sell the bike due to the issue but didn't want to just pass this dangerous issue along to another rider. They said they could at least have them fixed temporarily so I could get …
The rear brake pedal when pushed goes all the way down and does not actuate the rear brake at all. This failure affects the breaking safety of the motorcycle substantially.
Triumph has issued a recall for rear brakes failing that does NOT fix the issue. Myself and many other owners are experiencing multiple rear brake failures after several recall attempts. I have had my rear brakes fixed by recall 3 times, including an ABS modulator replacement and my brakes are going bad again. This is an extreme safety issue and someone is going to get seriously injured.

My Triumph Rocket 3 loses pressure to the rear brake and stops working. Triumph currently has a recall and a service bulletin for Rocket motorcycles, however it does not work. Approximately every 4-6 months i must bring my motorcycle to the dealership to have the rear brake bleed. it will work for a short while then stop again after a couple months
The contact owns a 2023 Triumph Rocket 3 GT. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the display screen went blank and the motorcycle unexpectedly shut off. The failure caused another vehicle to rear-end the motorcycle's rear wheel, fracturing the license plate. The contact suffered back pains, but no medical attention was received. A police report was not filed. The contact stated that the vehicle had previously had the battery replaced for the same failure, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer,…

The contact owns a 2020 Triumph Rocket 3 GT. The contact stated that the rear brake master cylinder failed to move fluid through the system properly, which required an extended distance to stop the motorcycle. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V730000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); and associated the failure with the recall; however, after the repair was performed twice, the failure persisted. The dealer was notified of the most recent failure. The motorcycle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The fa…

After Triumph recall myself and many rocket owners are still experiencing brake failure on our bikes. We are being forced by triumph to dealer to bleed brakes at our cost. This does not fix the issue as brakes keep failing. Additionally, on my bike this is causing the hill hold indicator light to indicate hill hold is active, when in fact it is not active. This is a safety issue.
The rear brake system on my 2020 Triumph Rocket 3 GT has failed repeatedly since purchase. After 2–3 rides, the rear brake progressively fades and then loses all braking force. The defect has been reproduced six times over multiple years and is documented in six repair orders. The motorcycle is available for inspection. The safety risk is loss of rear braking while riding. The motorcycle has been returned to me in unsafe condition, including loose handlebars and a heat shield falling off after service. My father witnessed these conditions. Th…
