Recall Notice: 0145: RCL:2009-2012 BRAKE SWITCH RCL

searching for the respective bulletin ...

Update:

there is no NHTSA entry for this recall.

Update II:

here is the corresponding service bulletin M 1310

[Fired00d]

Took my bike in to get some work done. Went to pick it up and the dealer would not release the bike to me. Apparently the Moco issued a recall on all touring models 2009 and later.  The recall is a brake switch that may leak onto the brakes and cause an accident.

I am all for safety and don't blame the dealer, but for crying out loud the Moco has had two years to figure this out.

Just frustrated. They may get the new parts on Monday.

I moved/merged your thread w/existing one regarding this recall so members would be aware of the possibility of their bikes being held by dealerships if they take them in before parts are available.

 
Ride Safe,

Thanks Kraut! You always have great information. My brother is scheduled to pick up his new 2012 Street Glide this morning.

I happened to see a melted one today and it was pretty ugly. 

Melted because of the under the frame exhaust routing??

If so, those with earlier model bikes who have installed this type exhaust may need to be aware of the issue...

Just got off the phone with my dealer (Blackwolf HD, Bristol, VA). 
It was this simple...had them check my vin for the recall....my 2011 is listed as having the bad switch.  I was told they just received the bulletin yesterday and the parts are on the way to them within the next week.  I will get a call when the parts arrive and then schedule an appointment for replacement. 

Thanks again to this forum!

Harry can you elaborate?

My cruise control doesn't disengage when I use my rear brake.  I haven't checked to see if my brake light comes on......but I sure will tonight.

What did you find, JC?

Marty,

Maybe you can get reimbursed for the repair. It might be worth a try

 I guess I should try, Customer service at the Moco hates me  

 Something about an 07 and lemon law

You have me wondering about my '07 since I have installed the cross under type exhaust from Khrome Werks.  But the recall notice shows the contents of the repair kit as rear stop light switch, 72016-06A and state that it is a non-sold part number.  Don't understand exactly what is going on here.

Wife came home last night and told me of this recall on my 10, and just messaged that they just got some of the ordered parts in for the recall, going to drop mine off this evening so they can work it in.

Dealer said they will have my new switch Monday.

I forgot to check.....but just called my wife and asked her to check.  She said that my brake light does not come on with the rear brake pedal.  I'll check for fluid leaking when I get home this evening.

By the way, the local dealership got their bundle of switches in just a few minutes ago......he just called me.

Muddypaws, is that Waugh you spoke to?

[Screamin]

Just stopped by the dealer. Service mgr. stopped me and said they had a limited supply come in and to bring it in first thing in the a.m. Appreciate them looking out for me.

[GregKhougaz]

Having mine done tomorrow a.m.  They'll put one aside for me if I don't make it in first thing but better to get it done.  Dealer says they have plenty of switches. 

[cyril]

Thanks for the heads up, bet our dealer hasn`t heard.......soon find out though
