2005 BMW R 1200 ST & 2005 BMW R1200 GS + 1 more recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, exposure of the throttle housing to road debris could fall and become caught between the throttle-body and the engine block.
💥 The risk
This could restrict movement of the throttle-cable pulley that, in turn, could affect throttle operation and increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a cover over the throttle-cable pulley free of charge. The recall began on may 10, 2005. Owners may 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.)
