Service bulletin M1409A
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
This bulletin is to inform dealers of the steps to perform after performing the Touring and Trike Rear Shock absorber callback return. The shipping plug must be transferred from the new shock to the return shock. When oil is allowed to leak during the return process, the call-back issue cannot be properly diagnosed. Installing the plug in the return shock contains the oil in the shock during the shipment to the supplier. This information applies to 2014-2016 Touring and Trike models with rear air shock absorbers.
