Details

What's wrong: Poor fuel quality may lead to small deposits within the throttle bodies. During engine operation in a low rpm range, typically near idle speed (when coming to a stop) air flow could be sufficiently restricted and engine stalling could occur.

Why it matters: Engine stalling could result in a vehicle crash.

The fix: Bmw will notify owners and repair the motorcycles by updating the engine management software free of charge. The safety recall began on February 22, 2010.
