I called my local dealer just to see if they'd do the recall before I got the letter from Honda. They ran the VIN and said no problem. I made an appointment for 2 days later. When I got home from work the same day I made the appointment(Tues the 15th), the letter had arrived.

Took the bike in the next day and dropped it off. Sales manager said the floodgates opened with calls to schedule appointments. Evidently, many people in our area all got their notices on the same day.

The bike was ready at noon Thursday and seemed fine when I picked it up. I'm glad I got it done because I still ride mine(50 miles west of Chicago)
and my dealer is going to be closed from the 24th till the 5th of January.
