Here is is what I found on the BCM recall.

Probably won’t take it in until I leave town next week since it’s my DD. I will let you all know what I find out.

From the article...
"The scope of the recall affects some model year 2013-2014 FXSBE and 2014 FXSB model Softail Breakout motorcycles. The problem is the motorcycle may run out of fuel while the indicator shows that the motorcycle still has gas, even before the low fuel warning lamp illuminates."
My problem is slightly different, and I have a 2016. I get the LO RNG and the fuel light at appropriate times. My issue is that the LO RNG is on when the bike is started and idling. Once I start moving, the LO RNG goes away and the correct miles until empty is displayed. It's not a huge deal, but still, it shouldn't do that...right?
Either way I guess it wouldn't hurt to call the dealer and see if that recall extends past the '14 model year.

Nevertheless, I think it’s all pointing the the BCM which is $249 from the dealer for the part if they have to replace it. Haven’t figured out what the labor is yet. I’ll let you guys know as soon as I get more info.
If it ends up being a $500 repair, I’m just going to run it the way I have for the past three years by resetting my trip mileage at every fill up.

Alright fellas, interesting twist to the story of the LO RNG. I had my bike on the battery tender last night. I started it up today, and no LO RNG. I moved it around to get to some stuff in the garage. It sat for a few minutes, then I started it back up, and no LO RNG. Then it sat for a another few minutes. I started it up for a third time, and it went to the Odometer display, then flashed LO RNG and the low fuel light came on. I rode it around the block, and no change. So, I went up to the gas station, and put 3.2 gallons in it. The trip meter said 101 miles. Low fuel light should come on at 1 gallon right? And only 101 miles on the tank...shouldn't I be getting like close to 200?? Electrical gremlins...? I read on another thread about someone having a dirty negative battery connection, and once they cleaned it, the LO RNG issue went away. Well, this bike is pristine!!! I mean not a spec of dust on it, and only 1100 miles. I don't think dirty connections are my issue. Everything else works properly. I do get 2 codes on my FP3. They are for the front turn signals because I didn't wire in the running light function when putting the slimline LEDs on. But, I wouldn't think that would cause a LO RNG indication...would it?
