Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the integral anti-lock brake system (iabs) sensor sealing o-ring connection at the rear axle housing may be damaged. An oil leak may develop.

Why it matters: If this happens, oil could contact the rear wheel and the rear wheel brake disk, and the rider may not be able to control the motorcycle. A crash could occur.

The fix: Dealers will replace the rear wheel iabs sensor sealing o-ring. The recall began July 14, 2004. Owners should contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
