Worldwide recall Notices - S1000RR and Street Triple
No idea why they do this in the middle of winter, but better than never I guess.
Firstly, the Street Triple/Daytona 675. Apparently, the regulator can overheat, which leads to non-charging of the battery and which in turn can lead to stalling. Ours actually suffered this exact problem, though I am happy to report stalling was in the vicinity of the house, so it wasn't a real hassle and it was repaired back in early October. Affected bikes are the Daytona, Street Triple and Street Triple R manufactured between 2006 and 2009
Suffice to say, the actual notice just arrived in the mail. Thanks for the prompt notice, Triumph...
Secondly, the S1000RR has also had a recall due to the side stand bolts potentially working loose due to a manufacturing problem, which can lead to the side stand separating from the bike. While not a problem while moving, it can (of course) lead to problems when you've stopped and no-one needs a such a beautiful bike on it's side.

Nobody wants to see this laying down
Bikes affected were manufactured between Sept 2011 and Dec 2012.
In both cases, retailers will make good on all repairs at no cost. And if you already had the work done (and were charged) call your local shop. You should get a full refund.
