Details

What's wrong: The fasteners on the front side trim panels may have insufficient strength to retain the panels at high speeds.

Why it matters: If the panel separates it could interfere with riding and handling of the scooter and increase the risk of a crash. The panel could also become a hazard for other road users.

The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will reattach the left and right front side trim panels with stronger "snap-lock" fasteners. The recall began on January 10, 2013. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at customerrelations@bmwusa.com.
