Service bulletin M1698

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 M1698: BILL OF MATERIALS CHANGE FOR CENTER-COOLED WARRANTY REPLACEMENT ENGINES. PURPOSE: Initial release. This bulletin informs dealers that starting on August 1, 2025, the Milwaukee-Eight Center-Cooled Direct Ship Warranty engines will not come with the decorative camshaft cover or Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoid. This involves all: • Non-VVT equipped Touring and Softail models • VVT solenoid equipped CVO models. NOTE: On VVT models, the solenoid opening will be plugged to prevent contamination.

The document is the manufacturer's. This site does not hold it. NHTSA files a document at one of these two addresses; we have not asked NHTSA which.
