Details
What's wrong: One of the bolts on the rear suspension deflection lever may loosen and adversely affect the handling of the motorcycle.
Why it matters: If the bolt loosens and affects the motorcycle's handling, there may be an increased risk of a crash.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will replace the bolts and tighten them to the proper specifications, free of charge. The recall began February 17, 2017.
