NHTSA recall 10V328000
Equipment · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The bracket which supports the audible signaling device can break, possibly allowing the signaling device to fall from the vehicle and onto the roadway.
Why it matters: Should the signaling device fall from the motorcycle while being driven on the roadways, it could become an obstacle for other drivers which may result in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will attach two tether cables to the device in order to secure it to the motorcycle in the event the mounting bracket becomes loose. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on November 2, 2010.
