Details

What's wrong: The tire pressure labels may not remain affixed to the motorcycle frame. As a result, these motorcycles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 120, "wheels and rims-other than passenger cars."

Why it matters: If the label detaches from the motorcycle, proper tire pressure information may not be readily available. This could result in the rider improperly filling the tires which may affect motorcycle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tire pressure label, free of charge. The recall began October 19, 2020.
