NHTSA recall 04V576000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, an adapter in the rear brake line connects a rigid section to a flexible section. If the rigid section is not properly engaged in the adapter, it is possible for a leak to develop.
Why it matters: Brake fluid loss could result. The rear braking capability would not be possible, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the rear brake line and adapter. If the inspection reveals that the rigid section of the brake line is not properly engaged in the adapter, then the entire adapter will be replaced. The recall began December 15, 2004. Owners should contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
