To get the replacement part necessary for the fix, it was going to take a week and I did not have a week to sit during my vacation. So, I traded my 2019 for a 2022 - both Rallys.
So, I traded on the spot and continued on my trip. Since then I have 4500 miles on this new Ryker. No issues whatsoever. I have an appointment for the recall for this coming Friday but because I did not want to park the bike, I simply went to my neighborhood Ace Hardware store and purchased an 8x100 Hex flange head bolt and replaced the suspect Bolt and torqued to 18 pounds. No big deal.
Now you may want to sit down if you’re not already sitting - The cost of the replacement bolt was $.24. They considered general hardware and price all individual pieces cheap.
I have to agree, I think BRP is just trying to get ahead of a potential problem and playing it safe.
Was the bolt you pulled steel or aluminum?

Others have talked about the BOLT possibly being Aluminum ..... Professional Bicycle racers who think in terms of GRAMS for weight saving wouldn't use an aluminum bolt for any critical component on their bike...... Aluminum for a Steering bolt is just not even possible ...... JMHO ..... Mike

2022 has the different wheels, which could potentially be a difference in mass.
2022 also has remote adjusters for the front shocks.

I don't think there is a any of steering stress on that bolt.
Watch the video that EchoVictor put up (#44) and at the 2:20 mark it shows the handlebar mount being installed.
It has large piece that inserts into the steering shaft. There is a tab that fits into a slot. This is were steering input would go.
All the bolt does is hold everything down.
If the bolt broke for any reason, the mount might vibrate up and disengage the tab.

Mine was being assembled at the dealer when the recall came in. They saw it and I’m first in line to get my new bike done.

What I can't wrap my head around is they're saying the new bolt is 5mm shorter, but the same amount of threads. That just doesn't make sense to me. Purchased a new bolt at Ace Hardware, just for giggles, then pulled out the old bolt. Same size, same thread, no bottoming out and the threads appeared to be fully engaged. Dealerships in California still giving me the runaround to get this taken care of. Concerned I may just be taking my life in my hands if I ride my Rally before I get this done.

Reason: treads - threads %-)

Just some info if needed.
steering head is a blind hole.
hole depth with bar clamp installed.
78.48mm or 3.090"
over all depth of the tapped hole is 4.170" or 105.9 mm.
stock bolt length
99.06 mm or 3.90"
bolt threads end at 77.9mm or 3.070".
this puts the last thread of the bolt near the starting thread of the steering head clamp.This could give a false torque when installing.

Mine will be replaced in the morning. Also getting first service done as well. Plus they have to fix my odometer on mine. After the warranty repair, my odometer went back to zero. So now I'm off on miles.

Yep. They put a sticker inside because they can't change the odometer to the correct mileage. Meh. Not a big deal. But got the bolt replaced and all good now.
