It sounds pretty devastating and dangerous to us, but you have to admit, the wording of the recall notice is a bit subtle given the seriousness of the situation.

“This can cause the rear of the bike to fall onto the tires, significantly slowing the rear wheels and making the rider unstable,” the notice said.

“Severe deceleration and instability can cause a rider to lose control and crash, resulting in serious injury or death.”

The owner must contact the BMW Motorrad dealer or the BMW Group Customer Interaction Center to replace the pivot strut for free. [email protected] Or call 1800813299.
