I can understand a recall for the pivot pin but really, a recall for a handful of optional reservoir covers without a compliant label? NHTSA has too much time on its hands.

The more detailed table at the end of that article seems to indicate that the RS is only subject to the brake reservoir cover and not the pivot pin recall. It would be good if that is true, and the final drive on my RS is likely to stay attached, not that I am going to be able to go anywhere on it for the time being!

Old thread, new post.

My '20 RS has an appearance package that included billet aluminum "HP" reservoir covers. Has anyone had those replaced because of this recall? If so, do the replacements look the same?

I never realized it was a requirement to the have the reservoir covers labeled.
I guess that's why our aftermarket Rizoma covers had wording for DOT 4 brake fluid and Mineral Oil.

I'm curious why the pivot pin recall doesn't apply to the RS. I thought the final drive was the same on the 3 bikes, other than the final ratio.

presumably because the RS is low volume and none were made during the period when the bad batch of components hit the assembly line
