Default recall on voltage regulator

I just opened my mail today and got a recall for my 2012 RK.

A little late to the party.....

Just an FYI, there are several threads discussing this and DAWG posted the Service Bulletin on the replacement program in June. That was before the kits were even mailed to the dealers......

Glad you finally heard and hope you get it replaced soon......

It's a quick fix - your dealer should be able to swap it out while you wait.

I noticed an smell like something electrical getting very hot coming from my 2012 FLHX this weekend. Is that a side effect of this recall?

Is Harley still recognizing this recall? Buddy of mine had his regulator on his 12 SG take a crap last week, HD told him the recall expired 6/11/14.

I called Harley about it...they told me it was not a recall and that it had expired. I think they are being dishonest...but enter your Vin in the recall safety recall..then call them if it is positive.

How can a recall expire?? If the part is defective from the purchase of the bike, is it not still defective even 3 years later. They are supposed to check your Vin whenever they work on the bike. I think it's nonsense..

It wasn't a recall, it was a product reliability bulletin. They had a bad batch that only affected certain build dates. If I remember correctly it did say it expired 2 years after the date the bulletin was issued. The filler neck bulletin on the 14 Limited says the same thing.
