Reported: 2020-11-30 (November 30, 2020) · Model years: 2020, 2021
Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD (Triumph) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Rocket 3 GT, Rocket 3 R, and 2020 Rocket 3 TFC motorcycles. Air could have entered the antilock brake system (ABS) modulator while the rear brake system was filled during production.
Consequence: Over time, the air in the ABS modulator can deteriorate rear braking efficiency, increasing the distance required to stop and the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will bleed the rear brake system, free of charge. The recall began December 18, 2020. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph's number for this recall is SRAN 587.

Transmission issues Not related to a quickshifter mine did not come with one. It pops out of gear at low rpms or deceleration which can lead to an accident. In cornering and braking to rapid deceleration for emergency.it just stopped shifting properly one day. I had some voltage problems on the 5v wire all symptoms are fixed except the transmission. Thinking maybe the GPS gear position sensor. Nope pedal is sloppy and needing manual pressure to stay engaged.
The contact owns a 2021 Triumph Rocket 3R. The contact stated that fuel was leaking from the fuel tank while riding the motorcycle and, while the motorcycle was stationary.

Over the course of 16 months of ownership, I have now scheduled a second appointment to have my rear brake lines flushed and refilled under warranty. This can be inspected if necessary. The reason for scheduling this maintenance is the brakes will "fade" over the course of several weeks to months due to an admitted manufacturing/ assembly defect where there are air bubbles inadvertently allowed into the rear ABS system. This defect makes emergency braking nearly impossible as only the front brakes work to their potential. The dealership I hav…
