It Happened to me
Speaking as someone that had our '19 RTL switch cluster fail after many intermittent parking brake problems... I might think about replacing it for my own peace of mind.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
To do….or not to do? Should I replace these BEFORE they fail?

Wait until it fails. Have the bike towed to dealer then trade it in for a new one.

Well yeah, eliminates having to shop around for best price and product availability.

All those parts listed can be and have an inspection maintenance scheduled……… now, if you can come up with a way to diagnose an electrical part with a KNOWN high failure rate, and be able to replace that part before being inconvenienced, I wanna know.
Cash is king…… Next topic, what’s the best color?

With the wait times I have heard about on this board for a left hand switch cluster, I have been debating about getting a spare to have on hand if it ever does fail just due to the fact I don't want to wait for BRP to decide when they are going to make them again.
If I knew that BRP was a "dependable" manufacturer and would have spare parts readily available I wouldn't have to worry about this, Unfortunately that is not the case so I am preparing for the worse case scenario.

Yes, thank you for seeing my point.

I don't think I would go as far as changing it out right away, but I do want to have it on hand if needed.
I don't want to wait for 10 months for one to arrive like other members have had to do.

I will purchase the parts and have them when I travel far from home. I’m confident that I’ll be able to sell them if not used in the future.

In the scenario I am talking about, even if you are at a dealer's having it diagnosed, and they can't get the part in within 10 months when they go to order it, then you will be wishing you had that one on hand!
And with the history that is recorded of this issue, not only with the part itself but also with the infamous wait times, it doesn't matter if you have the tools or knowledge to do the repair if you just can't get the part to repair it.
Would I carry it with me on the road?... Of course not. Do I want it on my shelf as a standby for a known issue? ... Damn right I do.
