Recall ????

[bowillyard]

I have never had a recall from Triumph, will they notify us or do we need to go to the dealer and ask them about it?


June 15, 2005
The National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) has ordered Triumph Motorcycles of America to recall the popular Daytona motorcycle and several other models because a cooling system failure could cause the engine to seize and lead to a crash.

I checked and there are 500+ Sprint STs that are affected. :???:

You should get a letter from Triumph directing you to see your dealer about the recall. But if the last 2 recalls are any indication, the announcement, the letter, and the parts are all going to come at different times. Sometimes in that order. Keep in contact with your dealer to know when the parts arrive.
