NHTSA recall 10V488000
Suspension · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The bearings could be subject to corrosion. This could lead to reduced movement of the link lever.
Why it matters: This could affect the handling of the motorcycle increasing the risk a driver may lose control of the vehicle resulting in a crash.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during March 2011.
