A batch of components has been identified as the cause and the necessary plans are being made now to change these in all the affected machines.VOSA (Vehicle & Operator Services Agency) are involved and as soon as the paperwork is completed the recall reference number will be published...
It goes on to say: "We appreciate that this problem will be both disappointing and inconvenient for owners, be assured that we are working hard and with all possible speed to resolve this issue. We will post further news, as it is available."

Im sure Watsonian will do a professional job regarding this, as will CMW in the U.S. It is a shame for the early adopters of the new UCE motor bikes, but theres usually a few problems with new designs. Hopefully this will not have a lasting negative on slaes of the new bike as I really would like to see RE do well with this one!
