Details

What's wrong: Due to a manufacturing fault, the side-stand attachment bolts could start to loosen. The loosening of the side-stand bolts could cause the stand to separate from the frame of the motorcycle.

Why it matters: A separation of the side-stand could cause the motorcycle to fall, causing a risk of injury.

The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will clean the sidestand mounting plate threads and replace the side-stand mounting plate bolts, free of charge. The recall began on January 29, 2013. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at customerrelations@bmwusa.com.
