djkak,
Good point, while some of these are "service actions", "product programs" or whatever they wish to call them. The bottom line with all manufacturers is to avoid the "mandatory" recall action of the FEDS.
While it is the good corporate decision in the case of the more "safety related" actions to get them out to us ASAP, this is often followed by a recall when there is a low response or the FEDS decide it is too important to let slide.
I totally agree with you that we should do our part to get our bikes upgraded to the new part, hell it's free......hopefully we all have found dealers we trust enough to not have more problems when the bike comes back than we had going in. Especially since in most cases with these two items we don't have a noticeable issue going in.
Also, why pass along a problem to a subsequent owner when you sell your bike that could have been resolved while we had it under warranty or during the grace period.
