Campaign Number 2011-0008

[Rando]

Problem: Posted by Lamonster - What can happen is when the throttle body plates are being held shut for 40 min. they can get stuck and burn up the motor and then you have to replace the throttle body. This fix is going to back it off a degree or so.

This was released on July 4th and effects all 2011 Spyder RT's.

A. RT Throttle body actuator protection (see above)
B. Middle side panel grommet replacement (Problem: one of the 3 rubber grommets holding the middle side panels might fall off after multiple removal and reinstallation of the middle side panel.)

0.3 hour = flat rate time

I wasn't able to post the file so I emailed it to Lamonster.

Note: 2011-7 is also listed on the front page of this announcement. The rubber grommet shows a part number of 705 003 264.

As a source of information this forum is terrific!

I rang my dealer a little while ago, told him I'd read about the throttle body update #2011-0008 on Spyderlovers.com. He checked for it, found it, and my Spyder goes in Monday morning to have that done, plus some other stuff related to recent campaigns.

It feels great to be kept informed and I also think it's helpful for the dealer to have customers who independently have a handle on what is going on. :thumbup:

As a postscript to this my RT didn't go to the dealers on Monday - he phoned to say hasn't downloaded the software yet.
