RE: Sender Recall

["Eric Drayer" <ejdrayercpa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just got back from my 6,000 mile service where I asked the dealer to check
to see if I am part of the fuel sender recall.  I never received
notification from Triumph and checking my VIN against the info here on the
site I should not have been subject to the recall.  However since it is a
2000 ST I asked the dealer to check it anyway.

Although my scoot has never leaked it did have the bad fuel sender.  Of
course there were none in stock so one is on order for me.  Hopefully it
won't be in the 40's and raining when I go back to swap it out :>.

Don't assume because of your VIN or lack of notification that your sender is
good.....get it checked.

Jonathan,

I was actually surprised to get a recall for mine, as my ST had build date
04/99 and still had the original "wacky but safe" sender.

I presume the dealer just checks whether the sender on the bike has a green
top, i.e. if it's one of the unsafe, potentially leaky ones.  My sender
wasn't changed, so I assume it's not a green top.  Even though it's one of
the originals, it hasn't gone wacky yet, so I'm happier that they didn't
replace it.

Neil
