2005 BMW K1200 LT & 2004 BMW R1150 RT recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, an incorrect sealing ring was mounted to the piston of the rear brake master cylinder.
💥 The risk
If only the rear brake were applied during riding, insufficient braking pressure would be available to slow the motorcycle, which could increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the rear brake master cylinder. The recall began july 16, 2004. Owners should contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
