It was well publicized. PM your VIN and I'll see if yours was affected. It would only have been covered if your bike was still under warranty though.

Just wondering, I had my replace a few weeks after getting my 2012 FLTK, Is it safe to assume the part they replaced it with is a part that will not fail again? ie from a different batch or manufacturer?

Thanks always for your help.

There was one guy that was on his fourth VR if I remember right.

Also, sometimes they're reportedly replacing the VR and the stator at the same time.

Not good.

I love how on the HD owners site it shows only as a "program" with no other info, with some fluff text when you click to get the definition of what a program is. Just beautiful....

Thanks Dawg for posting this heads-up for us.
