Hey dowork08,
&nbsp\\;
The MOCO only does recalls over things that they will get sued for.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Just leaving you stranded?&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; No prob!

file a formal complaint with the BBB or be vocal at the next HOG meeting or check to see what your state says you can do.

Just got my 08' Electra Glide Classic back after a 2 week wait at my dealer with this problem.&nbsp\\; The part is called the Fuel Filter Shell and is a $30 part.&nbsp\\; My bike had 4,400 miles on it when the part failed.&nbsp\\; The part is located inside the fuel tank.&nbsp\\; I saw the part and one little plastic tab on the part shut the whole bike down when it broke.&nbsp\\; What it does when it fails is that it messes up the pressurized fuel delivery through the fuel filter allowing the pressure to escape.&nbsp\\; Good luck to you all waiting on the upgraded part.&nbsp\\; It is hard to come by at this time.

My 08 Ultra with 6800 miles died yesterday on the way back from Laconia. Don't know the cause yet. Hope it's something this simple.

62229-08A is the pn# for the filter shell and yes it is backordered.&nbsp\\; 61011-04A is the pn# for the filter kit with 0-ring and yes that is also backordered.

Well, it's official. Add me to the list of fuel pump assemblies that have died. Glad it quit on the back roads instead of the interstate. Hope the parts are in soon, I was planning on leaving for the Mid-West Rally on the 26th.

My fuel filter canister also failed, this one at 4200 miles.&nbsp\\; Seems to be a design fault\\; plastic not holding up, I guess.
