recall duration
Purchased my 2010 RK new and never went to the dealer for brake light switch or brake bleed per recall. Curious if they are still valid or is there a time limit. I'd ask the local dealer but don't know if I'd get a true reply, TIA

Recall is open for life assuming they still make the parts. Harley's owners page will tell you open recalls. https://serviceinfo.harley-davidson....cle/lookupForm

Contact your dealer and have them run your VIN.....
The caveat to brake flush "voluntary recall" is that if while performing the recall brake fluid flush, if your ABS unit should show signs of failure or pending failure, you the customer must foot the bill for the ABS unit replacement.
This has been already agreed to during discussions with the NHTSA.... The MoCo convinced the NHTSA that if the ABS unit fails, it is actually due to improper maintenance by the owner, not their subpar fluid or design......
OOPs, just noticed chopper man posted the other way to see if you have a pending recall....

the big thing to look out for is tsb's. if you don't get those taken care of while your bike is under warranty, then you're sol. they aren't deemed safety critical so not a true recall.

That's too bad... I have a couple dealers I would't let wash my bike, let alone work on it.... That's why I finally took over all the work on my bikes, other than tires. I use an independent motorcycle tire shop for tires... and I even bring them my wheels...
Any chance there's another dealer almost as close that you can go to.... It really sucks having someone work on your bike that you don't trust...
Good luck with the recalls...
