its not really a recall but a service bulletin and not all bikes are affected.
Lew...it is actually a service bulletin that speaks to the cupping and unusual wear on the d407f. If you see or feel this happening on your front tire first check your pressure then take her in and they should replace with a d408f for no charge to you. I and many others have done so and to be honest I had 11,000 miles on mine and no questions asked.:s
Thanks Chopper, but if they take it for a test ride there is no vibration as of right now. The last time I had the bike out I was on the highway up to 75 mph and all was okay.Tell your dealer there seams to be excessive vibrations coming from the front end and you think it's the tire, they will replace it, no questions asked.

Yea, but your concern give's the dealership a reason to warranty, I not saying be dishonest, but if you have the 407 it really should have been a 408, you paid top dollar for a top of the line bike and have a right to "top of the line tires". If you have a problem down the road with that tire, Harley will want to pro rate it then for you, that's not right ether. Do what you feel is right, I respect that.
Mine did not start to give me problems till around 4500 miles. They replaced it at 7500 miles. Look and see if it is a D407F, if it is get it replaced as you will eventually need to. If you do it now it will be EZ. There is nothing dishonest about it, the tread on the tire is reversed and they know it. It may already be the right tire. (D408F) Ride safe.:s
