Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
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. (Scary) I know that this is a common issue on the Rocket 3 message boards and I am investigating a class action lawsuit. The rear brakes are so dysfunctional, I must pump them repeatedly to have any pressure and braking at all, even then I must gear down and utilize the front brakes almost exclusively. This is extremely unsafe and ridiculous considering the high cost of this motorcycle, $23000 or more dollars.

Defect Description:
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
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. I took mine to my local Triumph service department and they were able to duplicate the problem but had no solution stating they contacted Triumph for support. It has been two weeks and no reply or remedy has been received from Triumph. There has also been a problem with the rear brakes fading and with some owners the rear brakes have completely stopped working. I took mine to the Triumph service department and they performed the recommended brake bleeding procedure. The brakes were better for three days then went back to the same fading condition. This is also a common problem with 2020 and newer Rocket 3 according to numerous social media posts.
