Thanks to Joe for pointing to this web-site - just did a search on '74 TR6,
and here is what I came up with (I like the one about loosing control of the
TR6 due to throttle mechanism......didn't they know that this was the low
compression engine, where not much happens 8-))

Potential Number of Units Affected: 36,931
Summary:
THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT THE THROTTLE MECHANISM MAY FAIL TO
CLOSE EFFICIENTLY. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF
ENGINE SPEED. 

DEALER WILL CHECK THE LINKAGE FOR PROPER OPERATION AND INSTALL A
NEW ABUTMENT BRACKET WASHER FREE OF CHARGE. 


Potential Number of Units Affected: 107,950
Summary:
THE HEADLAMP SWITCHES MAY MALFUNCTION ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES.
SHOULD THIS OCCUR, LOSS OF HEADLAMP AND TAILLAMP ILLUMINATION
MAY RESULT. SWITCH BREAKAGE WILL ONLY OCCUR WHEN THE SWITCH IS
BEING TURNED ON OR OFF. 

DEALER WILL REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SWITCH AT NO CHARGE.

Potential Number of Units Affected: 39,924
Summary:

TRIUMPH CAMPAIGN NO A428. POSSIBILITY OF FUEL LEAKAGE FROM ONE OR
ANY OF THEFOLLOWING AREAS FUEL TANK SEAMS, AND GASKET, FUEL TANK

(CORRECT BY INSPECTING AND REPLACING NECESSARYPARTS).
