    Found this site,www.recallsfinder.com/harley+davidson.html .
    It doesn't show the Gas cap issue for my model, but it did show some other things that I'm gonna check out.
    Thanks for posting, some things we never think about and a bikes' recall is one of them!

    My '96 Low Rider Tank cap failed about 4 months ago, its the original cap, the bonding under the chrome part came undone and it wouldnt screw all the way down.....

    .....Simple Fix Same Day.....Superglue dribbled in under the top part solved THAT problem...left it to set for a few hours before screwing it back in...

    Yipper, I got the letter too. You have to call your local HD dealer and give them your VIN number to verify that your bike is under the recall. My 2010 Steet Bob is. It's not a big deal really, They said an adjustment just needs to be made to my gas cap. No parts are even needed; it's just a pain really.

    From what I heard it's about a 5 minute fix and they just do it while you wait.
