Owner report 11425367 · 2021-07-18 (July 18, 2021)

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…

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…

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.
