Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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 2026-04“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11498741, filed 2022-12“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 it sold. …”
NHTSA complaint #11460869, filed 2022-04“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11425367, filed 2021-07“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 failure mileage was 5,849.”
