2005 BMW K1200 S recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, there could be a problem with the routing of the integral anti-lock-brake system (iabs) sensor cable if service has been performed on the motorcycle, for example, a front tire change.
💥 The risk
The sensor cable CAN come into contact with, and rub against, the front brake disk. If the chafing becomes severe, it is possible to lose the ABS function increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and attach an additional retaining clip to the iabs sensor cable free of charge. The recall began september 23, 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.)
