What this recall means for you
Air may have entered the antilock brake system (ABS) modulator on certain Triumph Rocket 3 motorcycles from the 2020 and 2021 model years while the rear brake system was being filled at the factory. Over time, that trapped air can reduce rear braking efficiency.
Reduced rear braking means the motorcycle may need a longer distance to stop, which raises the risk of a crash. Owners should be aware of this if they ride models covered by the recall.
Triumph will notify affected owners, and authorized dealers will bleed the rear brake system at no cost. Owners can contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010 and should check their VIN for open recalls.
