I got this which has a little more detail than the first I sent. I noticed 
a couple of things.
1 - They won't have full stock until October 30th. So there may be a delay 
in getting the sender replaced (Call your dealer now to get one on order).
2 - If you have a 99 that had a 2000 part fitted, you may not receive 
notification.

IMPORTANT MOTORCYCLE SAFETY RECALL

Affected Models: Sprint ST, Sprint RS & T709 Tiger (Injected)

Affected VIN Range: Sprint ST & Tiger 096419 - 112417 + all machines having a
replacement Fuel Sender fitted as a spare.
Affected VIN Range: Sprint RS 095944 - 112417

We require your immediate attention on the rectification of some Sprint ST,
Sprint RS and Fuel Injected Tigers. If left unattended, there is a
possibility that the fuel level sender will leak fuel over the engine. The
potentially leaky fuel level sender has a green cap.

These green capped senders were fitted in production between VIN 096419 and
112417 for Sprint ST and Tigers, and VIN 095944 - 112417 for Sprint RS.
They were also distributed via our Parts Department as a replacement spare.

Please return all green capped senders to our Parts Department for full
credit. Only grey capped senders, Part No. T2400526, are to be used to
repair affected recall machines.

It is therefore imperative that any owners having either recently purchased
an "affected" machine or had a replacement green capped fuel sender fitted
should be contacted immediately and asked to return the machine to you. It
is unlikely that these owners will have been contacted directly by Triumph by
letter and we must therefore rely on your services.

Important Parts Supply Information

Unfortunately we do not have sufficient parts to repair all affected bikes at
present. Therefore we must ask you to prioritize bikes as follows and
organize repairs in the following order:
1. Top Priority - Customers bikes and dealer demos.
2. Second Priority - Bikes being prepared for customer collection.
3. Third Priority - Unsold floor stock.

Please place an order to our Parts Department for the minimum number of fuel
senders based upon the above Priority. You will appreciate that with limited
parts available to us, we must prioritize customer's machines. Please do not
order any additional senders from the Triumph Parts Department until
notified. Please anticipate their arrival in 2 or 3 working days. Once
Triumph Motorcycles America has received full stock, we will ask that you
order any outstanding senders from our Parts Department. We are expecting
our first shipment of grey capped fuel senders by 10 October, and full stock
within 30 days of that date.

Triumph Motorcycles America will contact existing customers by mail
commencing 15 October. Please ensure you contact any owner who has recently
had a fuel sender replaced. Also, all unsold bikes must be modified (by law)
prior to being released to new customers.
