Don't be surprised that your dealers haven't seen this yet. It is one of those things that usually gets shuffled to the in box and not read. Unless someone brings it to their attention, I'm not surprised at all. We here have a vested interest in the 110", the SM has a lot of other bike to worry about as well.

You must be careful as to what is a recall and what is a "campaign". Liability and responsibility comes with a recall; denial comes with a "campaign"

[Hoist!]

Happily I'll be doing nothing about this "campaign" now that I created my own "campaign. I will however expect to receive my new heads, head gaskets, base gaskets and ACR's when I bring the old pile of junk into the dealer in exchange for these shiney new parts. Then I can sell them!!!

Hoist!

Was at the dealership today and mentioned the recall, they looked it up and the first wave of shipping for all the head and air filter work was shipped on the 28th.  I was told it would be about 1-1.5 weeks for the parts to come in.  I already made my appointment for this recall work to be done at my next service interval.  Let's just hope it doesn't die before the 15th of August.

I also ran my VIN and came up with:  0905:  PRD PGM: 07.08 CVO 110 Heads.  Looks like we're all pretty much in the same boat.  Now the dilemma; the bike is running so great with no leaks (yet) I'm inclined to go ahead and wait until this fall when it's going in for a new set of heated grips.  Will wait on the letter as I'm sure the dealership won't take any action until the letters have been mailed out anyhow.  Will post later with the results.

You have two years from the date of the letter to get the mods installed.  So you have some time to see if you'll need/want to have it done.

Well my dealer has the info and I'm scheduled for the 16th of Sept.  Why so long well, I'm going to have the new heads ported at the same time and it takes 4 weeks for that.   This site is great I would not have known about the re-call unless I received the letter. 
The dealer did tell me that with the recall campaign that they don't order the parts until you make the appointment.

So, your dealer definitely told you that you are getting new heads?

I talked to HD coustomer service last week and they said that a wave shipment of "kits" want out last week and each dealer should be receiving 1 kit by this week. One local dealer here confirmed that and I have reserved the first kit they receive for my bike. Hopefully that is all true as we have a 2500 mile trip planned early Sept. and my rear head gasket is finnally starting to spew at 20K after only weeping for the last 8K

My dealer looked up my info for my CVO and said yes you will get new heads, per the recall 0905 notice.  Apparently it depends on when your bike was built.

Has anyone got these Service Bulletins as a .pdf file rather than a .jpg.  My '07 SERK is at the dealership now and I'm getting the "gaskets only" story from them.  I'd like to have both Service Bulletins to put in front of them and have them explain why the SERK fix would be different than the CUSE fix.

[bikerboy53]

I'm with you Phaze. I'm wondering why the SERK doesn't "need" new heads, but the Ultras do!  Since they all use the same heads you would think that the SERKs will develop a valve guide problem sooner or later too! My SERK will go in for some kind of w.....ty repair in a couple of months -after the trip to Milwaukee later this month. (I will probably wait for the cold weather to hit later in October before it goes in.)
