Rear brake fail

Race fluid? (5.1)

That is such BS!

Brake pedal went to the floor around 1500 miles. Had it bled and it’s just done the same thing at 2800 miles.
Triumph just say take it back and get it bled again, but I don’t think that’s (anywhere near) good enough.

Anyone else with this Issue?

I have a 2024 Rocket 3R, it is one year old (3000miles) and the rear brake failed completely on my last ride out. I ended up having a sphincter clenching moment. I have checked the Triumph recall notice for the rear brake and my bike is not included, but the symptoms are the same as described in the recall.
Just before the last service, a month ago, I noticed the travel on the rear brake was getting longer. I mentioned this at the service and the dealer bled the system and seemed to have corrected the problem. A couple of weeks later I noticed that the rear brake travel was increasing again. On yesterday’s ride the rear brake failed completely just as I was approaching a corner, intending to scrub off a little speed with the rear brake. I ended up cornering with the front brake on. The brake pedal just traveled all the way to the hard stop and when I tested it after the failure, I found that the bike would coast freely with me standing with my full weight on the rear brake pedal.
I have to say that this worries me. Have Triumph not done the recall correctly? Do they have a inherent design flaw that would cost too much to correct? Are they happy to put my life at risk to save a few bucks?
The bike is now unsafe to ride and in my garage waiting for the dealer to come and collect it.

Same here. It's hard to ride one you can't trust your life with. I can't believe no one has been killed yet.
