NHTSA recall 17V502000
Structure · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The bolts that connect the right-side swingarm pivot pin to the frame may loosen.
Why it matters: If the right-side pivot pin loosens, the handling and stability of the motorcycle may be affected, increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will remove the pivot pin bolts, clean, and re-install them with the proper torque after applying a thread locking adhesive, free of charge. The recall began October 16, 2017.
