Just had to replace my regulator, alternator, and fuel sending unit on my 2000 R*. The shop I use builds high performance metric engines and he got me great prices, 1/2 of the OEM price, on the regulator and alternator from an aftermarket company. Turns out the fuel sending unit is on recall notice, so that gets replaced for free. My local dealer never told me about the recall.

Wow, thanks for the info. I will have to check into that.

Can you get the recall number?

Nice, finally a recall on that unit.

Need that info as my sending unit has finally quit to.

what years does the recall cover???????

Hope it covers my 2002 Midnight

It doesn't list it on the Star website.

PB, did you see that recall notice??
