Just contact my local dealer in Indiana and he scheduled my pick up and told me that he was expecting parts next week so he scheduled it for pickup next Wednesday and told me this was a No Drive Condition so to wait for parts is just part of the game.

I work at a OEM and recalls are just a way of life for companies that assembly items, sometimes the supplier makes mistakes and sometime the poeple putting it together make mistakes it's all part of the buisness.

PSA - for those using Mile-Hi HD in Colorado, they are doing the same as the above message. Contact their service department and they will put you on the list to call back for pickup next week after they get the parts in.
