Plain-English summary
Triumph Motorcycles America, Ltd. is recalling certain 2020-2024 Rocket 3 models, including the Rocket 3 TFC, Rocket 3 R, and Rocket 3 GT. The recalled motorcycles have a rear brake master cylinder that may fail to move fluid through the hydraulic system properly.
When the brake master cylinder fails to function correctly, it requires an extended distance to stop. This defect increases the risk of a crash because riders may not be able to stop in the expected distance.
Triumph will replace the rear brake master cylinder free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 20, 2023. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010 (reference SRAN 611) or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
