RE: recall info
We have voluntarily declared this a defect related to motor vehicle safety (Campaign 0135) to allow us to formally recall all affected motorcycles. \\; The remedy is to remove the original fuel filter shell P/N 62229-08 and replace it with a new fuel filter shell P/N 62229-08A. A service bulletin outlining the repair and credit procedure will follow within two weeks. \\; Based on the schedule our supplier has provided we expect to begin shipping 10,000 or more repair kits world-wide, in our first wave, on or before the week of August 4, 2008. Please reference the Service Bulletin for a detailed description of the defect

RE: recall info
so far I have heard of two new shells failing I changed mine out last week and it did not look that much stronger
I don't think they sold 10,000 before aug 1 so why ship so many

RE: recall info
I have a shell on order with Chicago HD\\; was going to change it out myself. \\; If I get it before the recall notice I will. \\; Pretty discouraging to think that the new ones will fail.
