Bulletin 2011-7 Done Today

[ulflyer]

Having read last thursday on this forum about Bulletin 2011-7, software update for the throttle body, I called my dealer who checked the VIN on the computer and said to bring it down this morn at 9am. I did, and they did, along with "campaign 2011-8" which involved replacing a couple grommets on side panels. I didn't ask which ones but I think they were the top rear single one each of the radiator panels. Didn't take more than 15-20 min to do both under warranty.

Along with this I asked them to loosen the engine oil drain plug as I had been unable to get it out. They said it was stripped from factory and so the mech used a chisel to tap on it and it came lose. He replaced the plug with a new one under warranty.

Got to admit, any word on a good deal makes me feel warm and fuzzy and raises my hopes for the future.

Another Throttle Body "Motor" Updated

Rode with a buddy today to his dealer and they did his update while we waited, incl two new grommets. Svc mngr said computer determined if throttle body motor (what he called it) needed replacement or just updated and also commented that letters were being sent by BRP to everyone.

They had a new 2010 Silver RT they got from another dealer. I love the silver of that year.
