Default 2009 ultra rear brake switch
I had a problem with my rear brake switch it would not light up the tail lights unless I would just about stand on it. Took it in to the dealer and they replaced the rear brake switch for $53 . Now I am hearing there is going to be a recall hope I am re embersed.

Where did you hear that there is going to be a recall? Any specifics on it?

The rear brake light switch went out on my '09.
But it was replaced under the Factory Warranty.

The rear brake light switch was replaced on my '09 UC at the 1000 mile service. It turn out that it wasn't working at all.
