Re: [emrat:6038] Triumph Recall; for faulty engine control units (ECUs)

Hmm.... so I just called the Triumph customer service # seeing as I have a 2014 Bonneville T100 and the guy said that if my bike is running then I don't have a problem. He claims that when the dealers uncrate the bikes for the Pre Delivery Inspection, they will find out at that time if the injectors are stuck open. Seemed like an odd response so I will check with Erico also.

Triumph is recalling a number of its models for faulty engine control units (ECUs), which may improperly activate the bikes' fuel injectors.

The recall affects the 2014 and 2015 model year Triumph Thunderbird, Thunderbird ABS, Tiger 800,Tiger 800 ABS, Thruxton, and Bonneville motorcycles manufactured between February 6, 2014 and August 7, 2014.

It's not clear how many total motorcycles this recall affects, as Triumph lists the number currently as "0" with NHTSA, but given the number of models involved and the wide timeframe given on the production dates, we would expect a massive number of motorcycles to be involved.

According to Triumph, the affected ECU's improperly signal the activation of the bikes' fuel injectors. This can cause a loss of power on affected machines, which could induce a crash.

Triumph will notify owners, and dealers will modify the internal ECU hardware, free of charge. This recall has already begun on November 6, 2014.

Concerned owners may contact Triumph customer service at 1-678-854-2010 (Triumph's number for this recall is SB519). As always, the NHTSA is also available at 1-888-327-4236 and safercar.gov.
