    May want to just remove the fork caps and re tighten the dampening rod to be safe. It only takes a minute but you do need the tool that fits the cap to remove it or you can just fab up a simple tool with 2 pins to remove it. I re sprung my 2014 last June and snugged it up good and then proceeded to put 62 hours on the forks before a shop reworked them. I asked if any parts were loose or damaged and they said everything was good so I must have tightened it correctly. Easy job for piece of mind. If your bike falls in the recall range then you're stuck dealing with the shop you bought it from which will be a PITA for something so easy to correct. YMMV

    I bought the correct fork cap tool, when I bought the bike.

    Same here. I added one to my order when I ordered the correct springs for my fat ass. :o Got them from Slavens but it looks like Motion Pro makes them along with a few others.

    I was fortunate to find out when my vin was checked, it was not part of the recall. The shop made it out sound like a small number was effected.

    Good deal. The CPSC notice mentions in recall details, that 457 Husqvarna Brand units are affected.

    Don't have to go to the dealer you bought it from. Bought mine at home in Washington, got it worked on in Phoenix today. Unless you just meant you have to take it to a dealer in general, then yeah.

    I did mean taking it to a dealer. Seems like a bunch of hassle for an easy fix but if your Vin is included you're stuck with the dealer option.

    My TE 250 is on the list. Just received a recall letter today. I was considering sending my suspension to a tuner at some point. Now I am wondering, should I take it to dealer for the recall or simply send my forks to the tuner now?????

    Tuner. Easy call there.
