Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Dealers won't cover the repair due to no recall issued. No audible or visual warnings of the malfunction before, during or after the occurrence. The occurrence is not isolated.

My Triumph Rocket 3 loses pressure to the rear brake and stops working. Triumph currently has a recall and a service bulletin for Rocket motorcycles, however it does not work. Approximately every 4-6 months i must bring my motorcycle to the dealership to have the rear brake bleed. it will work for a short while then stop again after a couple months
