Well.. welcome.. interesting intro.. ain't gunna be getting a recall done thats 11 years old brother.. sorry bout that..

Do an Intro first, and then tells us why you think you need a recall

 

[jmar]

I had no knowledge that there was one.. not happy

It was shutting down a few times then total shut down. Was told Ehc needs replaced. Then was informed this was a recall in 2006

The only recall for 2006 on the EHC was for bikes built prior to march 22nd 2006.

The recall was just unplug the connectors and remove the rubber seal in the EHC ports as they trapped moisture.

Really.. almost sounds like an ignition switch.. but need a bit more details and then I'm sure we can help ya out.. and yeah everyone's answer is "replace the EHC, it's bad" and most of the time it's not true.

I highly doubt however that your current issue stems from a recall that is 10+ years old..hell it may have been done

Thanks I appreciate it. Yes I have done research but I'm not so good at computers, and just always being told about this recall.
I will ck some things out on what was mentioned and let you know outcome

What do you mean total shutdown? Every thing? No light? No horn? No anything? You going to have to give us a little more than that.

Yeah, if u give us a bit more info, my money says we can get ya all figured out.. and that recall wouldn't have saved u 11 years later.. lol.. just sayin bro

Don't matter if there was a recall or not, they went out of business years ago and the new Big Dog guys are not responsible.

The bike stalling and then horn goes off and directional blinking then bike shuts down

Have the battery load tested, sounds like the battery is going dead. If that's good check the voltage whens its running, maybe the VR is bad

I'm not going to argue that. Must have a good battery with good connections. I'd look in the headlight bucket also for some crispy wires.

, many things to check, before you start pointing a finger at the EHC.

As it's been stated above, there are a few ways to mimic a faulty EHC but most of the time it's actually not the EHC. For example, a low battery will heavily resemble a faulty EHC. Load test the battery and check all connections first before you start throwing money around. Let us know what you find and the load test results.

Thanks will def ck battery
Thanks for help

Then come back.

This is the best way I've heard, read, whatever...this point made on here, and there are a ton of threads on here to which it is applicable.
