NHTSA recall 10V275000
Fuel System, Gasoline · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The fuel tank front attachment bolts can work loose allowing the bolts to come into contact with the fork leg if the handlebar is turned a significant amount.
Why it matters: This could limit the travel range of the handlebars which could affect handling and maneuverability of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners and dealers will repair motorcycles by further securing the bolts using loctite. The repair will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on August 30, 2010.
