Details

What's wrong: The side-stand switch that prevents the engine from running while the side-stand is down may become damaged allowing the engine to run with the side-stand down.

Why it matters: The rider may start riding with the side-stand down, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Bmw will notify owners and dealers will secure the side-stand switch, free of charge. The recall began on August 8, 2013. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at customerrelations@bmwusa.com.
