recall viewpoint
Been riding my FLHXS for 10 days now with no problem. I'll ride it to my dealer when the fix is ready.
They personally called me today to explain the situation. They're not being told yet when the parts will be in. I'll have it done when they do my 1,000 mile service and replace me gas tank as well. Seems there was a nick in the paint when it arrived and they went ahead an ordered new tank.
Have you 6.5 Boom guys done your Infotainment software download yet? I did mine 2 days ago. You'll need an 8 gig USB stick and unzip the download. Once done you'll load the .iso file directly on the USB stick to install it. Directions are on HD website.

Well,.... its good to hear that you guys are getting better service than I was offered. I called up my dealer this morning to set up a time for them to come get my 14 Limited and they said they are not picking up any bikes at this time since they do not have the parts to make the repairs. I was informed that the parts are "expected" to be shipped to dealers 10-22-13, and that they would start scheduling pickups at that time. The service manager stated that at this time they are just telling people not to ride their bike. I said OK and asked if they were going to provide me a loaner until mine is fixed and I was promptly told no.
This is not a dealer issue it is a manufacturer issue. The dealer does not owe you a loaner. Please keep that in mind.

I've got a bad a** car, a truck that I call my "beater with a heater" and a strong willed old lady that knows about the recall.
My bike is just fine sitting in the garage until my stealership is ready to pick it up next week.

Just contact my local dealer in Indiana and he scheduled my pick up and told me that he was expecting parts next week so he scheduled it for pickup next Wednesday and told me this was a No Drive Condition so to wait for parts is just part of the game.
I work at a OEM and recalls are just a way of life for companies that assembly items, sometimes the supplier makes mistakes and sometime the poeple putting it together make mistakes it's all part of the buisness.

My dealer is dumb as $hit and it makes me mad. Plus living in Hawaii means it is going to be around the 25-29 until we gets parts here he said. I'm riding mine, don't have a choice. It's my only vehicle!!!
