Rocket III recalled

Triumph has issued a safety recall of around 1000 Rocket IIIs after 
recognising a fault in the shaft-drive which, it admits, "may result in a 
seized rear wheel."
Letters to owners explain modifications should be made without delay and 
that the repair should take less than one hour. A replacement unit is being 
fitted free of charge.
Triumph says the recall has been issued after the firm's final drive unit 
supplier informed it of the possibility of a fault.
MCN understands the potential defect is in a seal. But to avoid repair 
inconsistencies, Triumph has opted to replace the entire final drive in all 
cases.
The recall applies to bikes with the VIN's 205267 - 216401."

I would imagine 1000 units is the majority of those sold so far.
