Default Recall on 2018 Street Glide

I just dropped my 2018 Street Glide special off at the dealer for its 1000 mile service. I was informed by the service department that there was an open recall for my bike for the hydraulic clutch actuator that they will remedy during the scheduled service. I came home and did some research and it looks like this particular recall was issued by Harley only a few days ago. Can any one provide any further info in the issue and the remedy that Harley has come up with. Thanks.

Looks like it includes MY17 as well. And I suspect all hydraulic clutch M8s.

Yeah, I would think all M8's, at least the touring lineup?

Stopped by dealership and put my name on the list do get it done. HD will not start shipping kits to dealers until Nov 5. Service guy told me to just check clutch master cylinder in meantime. If it’s leaking obviously you will see the fluid level decrease there
