Pontiac you are a WINNER! Now, have you checked your front tire for cracks in the sidewall? If not you might check it. Might as well make one trip instead of two

i don't think they can sell the bikes if they haven't had the 'program' done.....

but yeah, its easy enough to look on the regulator of the new bike and see.

Product Notice: 0912: PRD PGM:2012 REGULATORS

The following list contains the campaign number and a brief description:
Product 0912: PRD PGM: 2012 Regulators
Product Notice: 0912: PRD PGM:2012 REGULATORS

Some product campaigns may have expired and you may have to pay for the service. Please see your local Harley-Davidson dealer for further details.

I guess i will call my dealer.

One problem is: it's not being called a "recall" it's a "program" so yes call your dealer.
He get's a list with everyone's name on it that they sold a bike too.

I just about my bike under 4 weeks ago at my dealership so I should ask them about it as well. I'm also part of the "program" and not part of the recall.

My SG was in the recall range for the regulators, but upon checking my regulator it was not in the recall batch. It depends on the bin or pile they took your regular out of when the bike was born.....my regulator was OK...and yes they removed it from the bike and checked the numbers on the back of the regulator....
Didn't know about the tires....
