2004 Triumph Sprint Rs

THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL ON THIS MODEL AND SEVERAL OTHERS FOR THE PLASTIC FUEL CONNECTORS, DEFECT INVESTIGATION PE03053 / NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V156000. MY 2004 SPRINT RS, WHICH HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE, WAS PARKED FOR EXTENSIVE, UNRELATED, WORK, WHEN A FRIEND WITH A TRIUMPH DAYTONA CAME OVER. HE HAD NOT HAD THE RECALL DONE ON HIS BIKE AND HIS FUEL CONNECTOR BROKE WHILE HE WAS HERE. I REMOVED THE CONNECTOR FROM MY 2004 SPRINT RS AND INSTALLED IT ON HIS DAYTONA AND GOT HIM BACK ON THE ROAD. HE ORDERED ME A REPLACEMENT CONNECTOR FROM A TRIUMPH DEALER, TRIUMPH PART NUMBER T1241165. THE PART THAT ARRIVED, DATED OCTOBER 1ST, 2014, WAS THE PLASTIC FITTING THAT WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT MY PART NUMBER IS CORRECT, AND THAT HE IS NO LONGER ABLE TO ORDER THE ALUMINUM PART USED TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC ONE IN THE RECALL, AS THAT PART NUMBER HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE NUMBER FOR THE PLASTIC PART. IN BRIEF: TRIUMPH IS SUPPLYING A PART SUBJECT TO RECALL INSTEAD OF THE REPLACEMENT PART THAT SHOULD BE SUPPLIED. *TR
