I see the recall on my app also. Wasn’t there last week.
I am going to look for the wire and see how hard or easy it is to check while waiting on an appointment for repair. If I come up with anything I’ll post it here.

I've been told the hardware 'kits' will start shipping 10/14...so until then either DIY inspection or have dealership perform one and if any concerns to address as best as one can until the HD solutions are available

If someone identifies the wiring in question and does a temporary fix, take some pics and post so the rest of us can do the same.
It sounds like a visual check and a wire tie is the solution.
Thanks in advance.

I crawled under my bike to look but it was all black caked road grime underneath from 15,000 miles so aborted the inspection

Good catch. Must be a mistake. Center cooling wasn’t even out in Sep ‘23 as far as I know
