Got the recall done today at the local dealership.  A word of advice:
Check your brakes as soon as you get on the bike!

My dealership is right next to the on ramp for the freeway.  Jumped on the bike, got on the freeway, and when I tried to slow down on the off ramp I had about 1/4 to 1/2 of the braking power that I should have had!  Luckily I had plenty of room.  Turned around and went back to the dealer.  They "re-bled" the brakes manually then on the digital tech while I watched.  Brakes work fine now.  Just once I'd like to go to an HD dealer and have work done right the first time!  I guess that's why the only people who work on my bikes is Jim and I...

Mine was done today.
Everything works fine.
Just like when I rode it in.

Having learned from my other bikes... my Harley Shop can never seem to do it right the first time.  I learned to never even leave their parking lot without crawling around and under the bike before getting on, and then testing everything else before getting down the road.  This coming April will be the 'only' time my CVO is going to get touched by anyone at my Dealership since delivery, and hopefully the 'last'.  On my other bikes, during Regular Scheduled Checkups, they have been returned with parts missing, or not replaced properly causing issues later.  Also, seems kinda peculiar that another friend of mine's Clutch suddenly went out when he took his CVO Fat Bob in for the 10,000 checkup... I said "What?"  My clutch went out after getting the Wide Glide back from it's 10,000 checkup... same dealership, same technician supervising the work.  Never in my 28 years of pure punishment have either of us burned out a clutch and he's been riding nearly twice as long as me.  Coincidence

Just got mine done today. Was told by the service manager they have 400 bikes on their list that need it . I believe what he meant was this dealer had sold 400 bikes between 09 and now that need it done. It took them about 45 minutes, then they took it for a test ride. All is good. Really can't tell any difference.

Anyone get their's yet?  Or are we just suppose to go in on our own?

I got the news here, got it done and fixed already.

Recall is kind of vague......what model(s) and for what?

[muddypaws]

Got mine done two days after reading it here. Nothing in the mail.

Since there are many different Harley recalls, which one are you talking about?  If its the Touring model brake switch (or any other recall for that matter), you don't need to wait for the actual letter to show up in your mailbox.  Contact or ride by your dealer and check with them, they can input your VIN to the system and it will tell them if your bike is included in any recalls.  If it is, they can schedule you in for repairs without the recall notice.

If you have registered on the HD web site and put in your motorcycle info, you can see all recalls for your bike.

I heard about the brake switch recall on this site then went on Harley site like Ernie said and saw it there too! Had it done when I had my 1000 mile servie and Fullsac goodies installed. Going by there in the morning to get it...can't wait, nice forecast in Memphis this weekend!

Took my '11 CVO RGU in to Harley Davidson Baton Rouge for it's 1,000 mile service last week.  When I picked it up, they had corrected the brake switch recall and I didn't have to ask!  I did ask them to check my neck bearing since I was experiencing a slight wobble on deceleration similar to other folks on this site.  HDBR found my neck bearing swung 2 1/2 times when 1 time is the correct setting.  Problem solved.  They corrected the neck bearing torque too!  I'm a ten (10) year customer of HDBR and will continue to be because of their friendly and knowledgeable staff and great service!  Ride safe!

Same problem here, the difference being i didn't take it back right away, but waited until today (10 days after the switch was replaced).
I am guessing they re-bled it, the service dept. is concealed behind closed doors with multiple "customers aren't allowed, insurance reasons" signs. The brakes work fine now however they offered no apologies or anything for having to bring it back, just a "see you next time", i told him there better not be a next time.

Took mine in for the 10,000 mile service with my own oils and stage 1 install did the brakes without asking because I am old and forgot. HDBaton Rouge did me fair. Good people in the service dept,
