Product Upgrade
Product Upgrade
Got a phone call from my dealer yesterday stating that Harley had issued a "product upgrade" for a belt that was on my bike. Is this just a fancy way of saying recall? Talking to the tech he said it was a belt inspection and replace if needed. Said they had a belt for me and it would take about 4 hours. I did a quick google looking for product upgrades for Harley's but didn't find anything. Is there a site to go to that list recalls and what not for HD's?
Does this sound right? This is my first Harley, wondering if this happens often?

Had one recall on ours when new,, the 07s at first had a issue with a weld on oil tank that wasn't ground smooth.
One of the wires from the batt could rub through and ground out from it..they put some kind of insulator over it...

Ha, yeah, I figure I'll get a few comments about the reflectors and leaving the air cover chrome.
