NHTSA recall 22V023000
Suspension · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The link strut connecting the rear suspension to the frame may have insufficient strength, which can cause the link strut to become damaged.
Why it matters: A damaged link strut can cause the rear of the motorcycle to contact the rear wheel, affecting riding stability and control, and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the rear link strut, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters to inform owners of the safety risk were mailed on March 11, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed June 21, 2022.
