Default 2012 Dyna recall

Not sure if this is posted yet... Just got a call from my dealer. HD just issued a recall last week for some 2012 Dyna and Softail models. It affects the threads on the Banjo bolt on your front master cyl. Apparently they are corroding and could lead to break failure.

Here the info from HDs website:

Last UpdatedDec 23, 2014

On certain model year 2012 Dyna Model and Softail Model motorcycles, the front brake master cylinders may experience corrosion in the threads for the brake line banjo bolt.

Safety Risk
If this condition remains undetected it could result in sudden loss of brake fluid, which could lead to a loss of front brake function, possibly resulting in a crash.

REMEDY
An authorized Harley-Davidson dealer will confirm that the motorcycle is covered by this recall. If covered the dealer will flush and inspect the front brake master cylinder and if necessary, replace the master cylinder using the recall kit provided. A recall kit will also be provided to replace the parts required for motorcycles that pass the inspection.
We strongly urge you to take your motorcycle to your dealer to have the appropriate service performed as soon as possible. Should you choose to ride your motorcycle prior to this service, we urge you to be aware of this condition. Some product campaigns may have expired and you may have to pay for the service. Please see your local Harley-Davidson dealer for further details.

Another question is this, will MOCO be responsible for damaged paint if your front brake master cylinders leak fluid on painted surfaces?

You can check your VIN on the HD website for any open recalls. I did mine and it showed nothing.
