TRIUMPH ROCKET III Recalls

The Triumph Rocket III has 4 recalls spanning 2005 to 2020, with the most serious being a final drive unit oil seal leak on 2005 models that can go unnoticed, run the unit dry, and cause the rear wheel to lock up suddenly while riding. The 2006 model year has a separate issue where handlebar clamp bolts may not have been tightened to the correct torque during dealer assembly, allowing the bars to shift or loosen under load and cause loss of control. On 2020 models, two brake-related recalls affect the rear stopping system: air trapped in the rear brake line can make the pedal feel soft and reduce braking force, and a rear brake master cylinder fault can increase the pedal travel required before the brake begins to apply, lengthening stopping distances in both cases.
