RE: [ST] Fuel Connector Recall Question

["Dan Wallander" <triumph99@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The NHTSA recall came out before Triumph had their full response ready. 
Your dealer was likely telling you the truth at the time.  However, Triumph
has now let its dealers know what to do.  Triumph dealers will replace part
of the quick disconnect with a new part that is available for dealers to
order.  The service bulletins just came out within the last week, so most
dealers won't have the parts in stock yet.  This affects all Triumph
motorcycles with fuel injection.
