If you get the letter, you could take it, and your old actuator, to your dealer's service dept, and talk to a service writer or tech. Should be able to trade the old piece, and a signature, for the new recall kit, and just toss the kit in with the spare fob & owners manual. The dealership gets credit ( and paid for) the recall, and you have the piece to transfer in case the bike ever does change hands.

My dealer told me I was the first to call about the recall and they would take care of me, as always. Going in 8 AM tomorrow to get it done. I actually got my letter today. Thanks to forum member that first posted this recall.

Two years should be fine. I don't have ABS or the useless linked brakes on my King. But I do keep up with the PH and moisture content on my clutch and brakes. Being a standard hydraulic setup. Brembo DOT 4 can be bought at AutoZone and a flush is about a 3 beer job... Also AutoZone and others have a killer little brake and clutch bleeder kit for like $11.00 that works great on none nanny state systems.
