Does this only apply to the 19 + models with traction control?
should I be concerned about my 18?

My 2018 came back OK.
Thanks guys. I’ll check the vin recall
I know my bike was delivered to the dealer and previous owner in January of 18. It was #49 of the 1900 run. Likely assembled in York just before that.

It only applies to 2019 and early 2020 models as 2019 was the first year for ABS. As Jack pointed out in post # 10 the Traction Control System (TCS) can be disabled. You must do that each time you start engine as default is enabled. It is a TCS issue NOT an ABS issue. The recall software update was to correct a possible bad read from a wheel speed sensor causing the TCS to think that wheel had lost traction and then applying the brake to that wheel only to regain traction. The update was done on my 2020 before I took delivery in December, 2019, and I've had absolutely no problem . . and am not concerned that I will. I'm not downplaying the significance of this but it is old news and afaik has been resolved.
And while this may be far fetched I can see a possible scenario where in the event of an accident the insurance company inspects and finds the ABS sensor disconnected they might have a reason to deny or at least complicate a settlement. They know which models have ABS (and probably even asked on the application) and have factored this into the premium.

We are in the process of having our 2020 FLHRC converted into a Trike. Our bike presently has ABS and wondering how this would affect the new build?
