Example complaints
Brakes: “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.”
NHTSA complaint #11734952, filed 2026-04Exterior lighting: “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 not corrected the issue. …”
