⚠️ What's wrong
BMW is recalling certain model year 2005-2011 motorcycles. The bearings could be subject to corrosion. This could lead to reduced movement of the link lever.
💥 The risk
This could affect the handling of the motorcycle increasing the risk a driver may lose control of the vehicle resulting in a crash.
🔧 The fix
BMW will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during march 2011. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417.
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.)
