Service bulletin M1673
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.

PURPOSE: Harley-Davidson is requiring all dealers to replace all Digital Technician II (DT II) Panasonic Windows 7 models before May 15th, 2025. After that date, all Windows 7 units will cease to function. In previous communications, the issues have been outlined, including Windows 7 is no longer supported, compatibility issues with Techlink 3 and aging hardware. Note: trying to upgrade your Windows 7 unit to Windows 10 or 11 is NOT a recommended option to ensure reliable and consistent function of your unit. As part of this communication, Harley-Davidson is announcing several options. The Microsoft Surface Pro 10 for Business tablets with a protective case is approved to be used with DT II. The Microsoft Surface Pro 11 is not approved for use currently. Note: the tablets are still supplementary and not an equivalent or a replacement for the laptop.
