NHTSA recall 07V151000
Structure · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the weld between the side stand and the frame bottom section was not positioned properly. The load-bearing capability of the side stand is affected. As a result, the side stand could fail.
Why it matters: If this occurred when the motorcycle was parked, the motorcycle could fall to the ground and injure a person sitting on the motorcycle or a person nearby.
The fix: Dealers will install a new frame bottom section free of charge. The recall began on June 1, 2007.
