Default switch pack

My left clutch switch quits working. I found this LH switch pack assymbly o/n 71500128 in eBay. But Ronnie's parts is saying I need p/n 71500128B for my 2017 roadglide. Do I really need the one with the B. Can I use the one for sale in ebay?

Thanks

It is a warrantied part, have it done under warranty, if yours is still covered.
As far as the "B" version, it is an updated version.

This should be a safety recall, instead of an update.

There is also an updated clutch lever to work in conjunction with the updated clutch switch.

Some people have claimed that spraying contact cleaner and some lubricant fixed it for them.
