- The defect
- Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD (Triumph) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Rocket 3 GT, Rocket 3 R, and 2020 Rocket 3 TFC motorcycles. Air could have entered the antilock brake system (ABS) modulator while the rear brake system was filled during production.
- What it can cause
- Over time, the air in the ABS modulator can deteriorate rear braking efficiency, increasing the distance required to stop and the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will bleed the rear brake system, free of charge. The recall began December 18, 2020. Owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010. Triumph's number for this recall is SRAN 587.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,241 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 61% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Triumph vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 7 times before this, most recently in April 2020 as 20V236000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 5 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 8 complaints with NHTSA. 1 of those name the service brakes, hydraulic, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 23V730000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Triumph Motorcycles America, LTD with NHTSA on November 30, 2020 as campaign 20V740000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
