Our favorite Hinckley-based bike brand has just issued a recall for their family of Rockets.

The recall itself – published at the end of October – cites the issue to lie in “a small number of motorcycles within the affected VIN range that have been parked or stored for long periods of time.”*

Apparently, leaving these bikes to sit has resulted in a decided increase in rear brake pedal travel – at least, more than what the bike had before the storage period.*

A view of Triumph’s Rocket family – the very same with an initiated recall. Media provided by Triumph.Luckily, NHTSA’s report states that this problem can be remedied by depressing that same rear brake pedal over a greater distance prior to storage.*

We’re told that 100% of Triumph’s bikes have this problem, with as many as 3,557 bikes affected overall.*

Here are the exact models affected:*

• 2022-2022 Triumph Rocket 3 GT Triple Black
  • January 4 to February 26, 2021
