Service bulletin PAB1134
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
GENUINE MOTOR PARTS AND MOTOR ACCESSORIES BULLETIN PAB1134: SEPARATION OF LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES FROM LEAD BATTERIES FOR RECYCLING. PURPOSE: Lead batteries are the most recycled consumer product in the United States. The East Penn Manufacturing Company supports a Lead Battery recycling program for the United States dealerships, accepting any scrap lead acid batteries (not just Harley-Davidson branded). Lithium-ion batteries are NOT included in the Lead Battery recycling program. The Returned Goods Report (RGR) requires verification that batteries being shipped are in the listed battery classifications on the report (which does not include Lithium-ion batteries). Those who fill out the form incorrectly could be held liable. Lithium-ion batteries cannot be co-mingled with the Lead batteries. East Penn Manufacturing can provide a communication poster to help those who collect used Lead batteries recognize Lithium-ion batteries. These posters can be prominently displayed to help reinforce proper Lead battery recycling. Lithium-ion batteries must be recycled according to local recycling laws. Each state has its own battery recycling laws For the purpose of shipping and handling, lithium-ion batteries are considered hazardous materials. Refer to local regulations regarding special handling and packing requirements, shipping instructions, and for training requirements on hazardous materials.
