NHTSA Campaign 13V154000

SUSPENSION:FRONT

Issued by BMW of North America, LLC · Reported Apr 22, 2013 · 15 vehicles affected

What's wrong

BMW is recalling certain model year 2013 R1200 GS motorcycles manufactured January 9, 2013, through February 8, 2013. Due to an insufficient torque of a locking bolt, the front fork tube may loosen.

Consequence

If the fork loosens it may hinder the rider's ability to control the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

BMW will notify owners and dealers will reinforce the affected fork locking bolt connections, free of charge. Owners were notified of the safety recall by telephone on April 22 and April 23, 2013. Therefore, an owner notification letter will not be issued for this campaign. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at [email protected].
