What owners report
The rear brake system on my 2020 Triumph Rocket 3 GT has failed repeatedly since purchase. After 2â3 rides, the rear brake progressively fades and then loses all braking force. The defect has been reproduced six times over multiple years and is documented in six repair orders. The motorcycle is available for inspection. The safety risk is loss of rear braking while riding. The motorcycle has been returned to me in unsafe condition, including loose handlebars and a heat shield falling off after service. My father witnessed these conditions. The dealership (Northern Colorado Powersports) confirmed the brake failure but only performed temporary brake bleeds and one brake line replacement. T
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.
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.
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.
The rear brake pedal when pushed goes all the way down and does not actuate the rear brake at all. This failure affects the breaking safety of the motorcycle substantially.
