APRIL 2009 --
BMW is recalling
model year 2008 R1200 GS and
R1200 GS Adventure
motorcycles. In certain
situations, such as high
generator speeds combined
with large demands for
electrical current, spurious
signals could emerge within
the motorcycle's electrical
system. If this were to
occur, it could affect the
pressure sensor signals of
the anti-lock brake system
(ABS) control unit. If this
happened, the ABS could
switch off; however, in such
a situation, a warning lamp
would illuminate. Normal
braking would still be
available to slow and stop
the motorcycle. Any time
vehicle control is
compromised a crash may.
Dealers will inspect and
repair or replace the
necessary components free of
charge. The recall is
expected to begin during May
2009. Owners may contact BMW
at 1-800-831-1117.

OCTOBER
2008 --
BMW is recalling 365 MY
2005-2006 HP2 Enduro
motorcycles. The front
threaded fastener of the
paralever link may not have
been tightened to correct
specifications. If the
fastener was not tightened
according to specifications,
it could loosen. Over time,
it is possible for the
fastener to separate from
its housing. If this were to
occur, then the final drive
of the motorcycle would not
be properly supported. If
that happened, motorcycle
handling would be
compromised increasing the
risk of a crash. Dealers
will remove the front
threaded fastener of the
paralever link and replace
it with an improved
fastener. The recall is
expected to begin during
November 2008. Owners may
contact BMW at
1-800-831-1117. 08V-564 |
