Red dot/green dot fuel senders got gray caps

[Jan and Don Draper <ddraper@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think it's worth sharing that Eric has informed me that the
senders with both a red dot and green dot have gray caps
and are thus kosher.

I was happy to hear that I can keep my prized red dot/green dot
sender.  It is my third sender and I like it very much because now
my bike doesn't piddle all over the place like an excited puppy.

Thanks for the info, Eric.

| 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 under warranty.
| 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.
| 
| Customer will be contacted by mail beginning October 15th.
