RE: [ST] Metal fuel fitting info

[peter.chittum@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Seems to me if Triumph want to get the feedback and the parts returned they should just recall the damn thing. 

But I'm sure there is some number cruncher sitting in Hinckley doing a cost comparison between recalling and not. And at this point, it is clearly more cost effective to not recall. 

Glad mine failed and was replaced with the metal fitting under warranty. Didn't cost me anything, and Triumph gets their broken POS plastic fitting back. It is a classic example of win-win situation!
