Intake seals shot.

Intake seals shot.
Took my 17 Street Glide Special in for 1000 mi check up about 3 weeks ago, and got a great bill of health on it. while I was at the dealership I ordered a Stage 1 Kit. Brought the bike home which is 3 miles from the dealership, and put it away till I got the call 2 weeks later to bring the bike in for the upgrade. When I lit the bike up, I noticed it was at 1700-2000 RPM at idle. Brought the bike to the dealership, and let them know about the idle. Got a call the next day telling me that the intake seals are shot, and the intake has to be replaced too. There are also 2 more bikes in the dealership for the same reason, should be a couple of more days. I stopped by yesterday 03/30/18, and the bike is still waiting for the parts to come in. The dealership now has 5 more bikes with the same issue, and more dealerships are reporting the same problem. I was told HD is trying to figure out what is going on.

What is the build date on your bike? This sounds like it could be a bad manufacturing run on the intake seals or did the bolts holding the flanges on the intake back off? What exactly caused the failure? Enqiring minds want to know. I have three dealers within 15 miles of my house here in Arizona, I think I’ll take a ride today and see how many M8’s in this area have been affected.
