NHTSA recall 17V591000
Equipment · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The rear side reflex reflectors on these vehicles may not be properly visible in certain traffic conditions. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: Obscured reflectors may reduce the visibility of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will modify the license plate holder to reposition the rear side reflex reflectors, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin November 13, 2017.
