Triumph Motorcycles America has initiated a voluntary safety recall for all 2020-2024 Triumph Rocket 3 models on October 31, 2023.  The reason for this recall is a potential problem with the rear brake cylinder.  On affected motorcycles, the travel of the rear brake pedal could increase unexpectedly, which can lead to an increase in braking distance.  This increases the risk of an accident.  Approximately 3,557 Triumph Rocket 3s could potentially be affected, representing 100 percent of the total production of these models.

Affected models and production data

  • 2022 Triumph Rocket 3 R Black: Produced from February 9, 2021 to April 6, 2021
  • 2020 to 2024 Triumph Rocket 3 R: Produced from October 10, 2019 to August 31, 2023
  • 2020 to 2024 Triumph Rocket 3 GT: Produced from October 14, 2019 to August 25, 2023
  • 2020 Triumph Rocket 3 TFC: Produced from October 16, 2019 to December 15, 2019

 

The cause of the problem

Triumph has investigated the problem and found that the original 12.7 mm rear brake cylinder is no longer able to move the brake fluid the required distance due to the natural formation of air bubbles in the brake fluid.  The resulting air in the brake lines can lead to longer brake pedal travel, especially if drivers do not carry out the recommended safety checks before setting off.

 

The remedy

Triumph’s solution to this problem is a larger, 14.0 mm rear brake cylinder, which displaces a higher volume of brake fluid.  This difference in size can overcome any air bubbles in the brake line.  Triumph further recommends that all riders carry out daily pre-ride safety checks to identify potential problems (including this one).

 

Implementation of the recall

This recall involves the replacement of the affected rear brake cylinders with new, enlarged units by authorized Triumph Motorcycles dealers, free of charge to the customer.  Owners who have already had this service performed on their Rocket 3 may be eligible for a refund.  Triumph Motorcycles America notified its dealer network of this recall on November 1, 2023 and notified registered owners of affected motorcycles on November 15, 2023.

 

Additional Information

Owners can contact Triumph Motorcycles America customer service at 1-678-854-2010 with questions about the Triumph recall with the SRAN 611 number.  Additionally, owners may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.

 

Final Note

It should be noted that the recall notification originated in the United States.  Since motorcycles are usually manufactured in a plant for the global market, other markets may also be affected by this recall.
