Did your 2020+ Rocket 3 Instrument Cluster glass crack?

I wouldn't call 20% of the voter's having cracks isolated. Sounds like the Triumph big wigs describing the rear brake master cylinder as no big deal. If you had to pay for a new cluster it's a problem. I understand brand loyalty but sometimes you have to say, "Yes, they have a problem that hasn't been resolved in 5 years." They did take ownership of the rear brake issue after 4 years and only due to the number of buyer and dealer complaints. It's a good motorcycle but has more than it's share of issues. One complaining about the Rocket doesn't mean they don't enjoy it and love riding it, it just means they want Triumph to step up and fix their little pissy issues and bigger ones like the vibration and master cylinder problems. I love my 2020 but now that I think about it I 'enjoyed' my 2014 more due to having zero issues.

And that's 20% of the people here that bothered to vote. I imagine there's much more. To be honest the crack doesn't bother me. I cut a piece of black vinyl and covered it. What bothers me is the knock on effect of moisture getting in

Today I had to drive home 180 kilometers without a speedometer and blinkers. After 2 hours of driving in the rain, the instrument cluster stopped working. I found it cracked in the same place as the others. I found in older photos that it was already cracked in April, but only the long rain caused the problem now.
Year 2022, 5500 km.

Do you still have warranty

I'm not voting as I only bought my Rocket in February but took Evil Mitch's idea and ordered this "luxury" shower cap for my beast for those occasions when I can't find a shady spot.

Amazon.com

Well, I wasn't about to spend any time researching shower caps so I ordered the first one I saw. It came in this fancy schmancy box and has a slik liner!!! But it does fit nicely around my display and GPS mount bracket so that's what matters.

Yes, it is under warranty. And the dealer happens to have a spare cluster, so they'll replace it for me right away.
He said it was a bad batch of clusters.

Did you guys find out what caused it? Extreme hot weather or some impact ?

In my case it was fuel ... when filling the tank it splashed all over the bike including the display

Mine once & friends twice. All three times in the same way.

Do you know if possible to change only glass or all TFT is for replacement ?

Instrument is only available as a complete unit (yes, I did ask) which also matches the spare parts listings.

I believe it's also not designed to be disassembled with some components "glued/fused/plastic welded" during assembly. Of course, once out of warranty, I'd be giving it a red hot go to figure out some sort of custom approach vs buying a new one.

It's not glass, it's just clear plastic sonic welded to the plastic body. But, with the new UV cured plastic cements and plastics available, it might be possible to replace the plastic face if you could get to it in time before the electronics fail. It might be a solution if you know there is no warranty left and up to tackle it. It is odd some dealers will replace a defective TFT and some won't (or try to gouge you for it). What goes there? Anyway, I'm still keeping my boy covered up with the shower cap unless riding. So far no cracks.
