Concern

Tyre body ply degradation may occur

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that a number of the subject tyres have experienced a torque-induced degradation in a body ply when fitted on the rear axle of Triumph Rocket III's (MY 09/09). This can result in the tyre inner liner cracking which can result in a slow loss of the inflation medium. the condition being communicated to the rider through vibration at moderate road speeds. The condition does not affect the front tyre.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled machines will have the rear tyre replaced. Additionally the front tyre will also be replaced due to the tyre brand matching requirements of the machine.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
