Service bulletin 1HD-R6S7Y-09
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
SERVICE BULLETIN M1453: 2018 SOFTAIL DRIVE BELT DEFLECTION SPECIFICATION. This bulletin informs dealers that Harley-Davidson has updated 2018 Softail drive belt deflection specification since the owner's manual was printed. The specification printed in the owner's manual is no longer accurate. See Table 1 for updated table. The digital version of the Softail Owner's Manuals available on H-D.com and SIP (Service information portal) is accurate, as are the printed and digital versions of the Softail Service Manual. The previous specification does not effect belt durability or safety, but may cause increased belt noise.
