thought i would go and check mine. I can rattle my caliper with my hand. Is this normal as haven't checked for it before. Had new pads fitted by the dealer a couple of days ago and they never mentioned it.

It applies to Sprints, Daytonas and Speed Triples but only 497 vehicals are affected? That doesn't sound right.

Yeah - I had my recall and had the mod done 2 weeks go - just a little 40 min job. It appears to be a failsafe in case the anti-rotation fails on rear calliper. But hey - they are sooo honest with the brake issue hehehe

Mine is going in to be taken care of next Saturday. The dealer called. I received no notice from Triumph.
