What should consumers do?
Consumers will be contacted directly by Triumph Australia and will receive a replacement ECM.
What do you think that will do for those with Tuneboys, Power Commanders etc....?????

What are the hazards?
This defect results in loss of driving force and momentum.

So the consumer will receive and fit their new ECM which I presume will be the same as the 2014 models and not TuneECU friendly, will we get a choice of map to suit our aftermarket accessories ?
Has anyone here heard of ECM problems in Oz?
Is todays the date 1st April ? WTF

| | Posted : 14 Nov 2014 - 07:00 Post title : Re: Aussie Recall (Re: AussieDave) | | | My dealer sent me this extract from the recall page....
A limited number of Triumph Tiger Explorer and Trophy model motorcycles require replacement of their Engine Control Module (ECM) due to electrical interference from the throttle position sensor. On rare occasions this may cause the engine ECM to enter a shutdown strategy which in turn cause the engine to lose power, resulting in a loss of driving force and momentum.
No mention of Birds...

| | Posted : 14 Nov 2014 - 08:59 Post title : Re: Aussie Recall (Re: esem) | | | I chatted to the dealer yesterday and today, and he said he hasnt heard of any recalls.
My bike is running like a dream, and I dont want 'em mucking around with it unless needed. and as Leethal said they may put in the new anti-tamper ones
I dont want that to happen, and if it is getting replaced I will try to get them to fit a 'tamper type' if available

| | Posted : 25 Nov 2014 - 06:25 Post title : Re: Aussie Recall | | | Hmmm.....just a longshot theory, but what if because Australia is the one country that has shops doing major performance mods like cams, triumph put out a BS bulletin in order to stuff these bikes with the new locked ECU under the guise of a design issue? I mean, all those models? And Aus only? Very suspicious.

I still buy bike magazines, and love 'em } that the Aussie recall is for 125 bikes manufactured since May this year only. it includes Tiger 800 models, Thruxton, Bonneville,, Rocket and Thunderbird.
Its a worldwide re call, but again only bikes made after May 2014.
No wonder my dealer didnt have a clue what I was talking about I dont think he has sold any bikes since then
Love ya all
