K69 S 1000 XR

 

The affected vehicles have been marked with campaign number 0000348600

 

In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this campaign it will be necessary to verify the vehicle VIN in AIR (Aftersales Information Research). Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the repair or take no further action. Please note, open campaigns or vehicle stops may not appear in DCS Warranty Vehicle Inquiry or sales systems until 24-72 hours after they are announced, therefore AIR is always the recommended method for determining open campaigns and vehicle stops.

 

NHTSA STATEMENT

Please be reminded that it is a violation of federal law (The Safety Act) for you to sell, lease or deliver any new motorcycle covered by this notification until the recall repair has been performed. This means that dealers may not legally deliver new motorcycles to consumers until they are fixed or use/sell replacement equipment/parts subject to this recall. Note also that substantial civil penalties apply to violations of the Safety Act. Also, you should not sell, lease or deliver any Certified Pre-Owned or used motorcycles subject to a safety recall until the repair is completed. Please follow any special instructions that we provide to you for the return or disposition of recall parts.

 

SITUATION

The front brake calipers may show slight sweat marks or isolated drops of brake fluid. Although this low-pressure leakage has been shown to have no effect on brake performance, BMW Motorrad is conducting a non-compliance recall to inspect each vehicle and replace the calipers if necessary.

 

Letters were mailed to owners via First Class mail advising them of this recall. A second letter will be mailed to owners soon as parts are becoming available asking them to schedule an appointment with an authorized BMW Motorrad dealer to have the inspection performed.

 

In the case of vehicles that have not yet been delivered, the campaign must be carried out before delivery to the customers. Vehicles have been marked with a delivery stop and campaign number 0000348600.

 

CORRECTION

For vehicles already in service: A visual inspection of the front brake calipers must be performed to check for staining or isolated drops. If traces of brake fluid are found, the calipers must be replaced. Calipers must always be replaced in pairs.

 

For new vehicles that have not yet been delivered: An inspection is not necessary, the front brake calipers must be replaced before delivery to the customer. New bikes (in the pipeline) as of March 1, 2021 will arrive at your dealer already repaired.

 

PROCEDURE

For vehicles already in service:

Remove Brake Calipers

Remove Brake Pads

Visually assess the surfaces of the brake caliper

If any trace of brake fluid is visible the caliper must be replaced (Please see figure 1) A TSARA case is not required when replacing calipers.

 

Figure 1: Examples of Staining or Leaking:

 

Photographic documentation

If no traces of brake fluid are detected on a customer vehicle, a TSARA case must be created for documentation with the following views of the brake calipers, both calipers must be photographed.

 

PARTS INFORMATION

Orders can be placed today with the new ordering processes outlined below and will be released as parts arrive. This new process will be used for the entire campaign.

As parts stock will be limited, parts will be allocated to urgent requests first. Urgent requests are defined as a customer bike down, an escalated consumer complaint or a sold unit that is waiting delivery after the recall remedy is implemented. PLEASE FOLLOW THE BELOW PROCEDURE FOR ORDERING PARTS. IDS TICKETS ARE NOT NECESSARY TO OBTAIN PARTS.   Each VIN can be used for ordering ONCE.  Do not place an order for a customer’s bike unless the bike is at the dealership or the customer has scheduled an appointment.

Parts for this category should be ordered using the “YOCV Campaign” order type function in DCSnet. Attached you will find step by step instructions for placing this order with this order type.   You will need to order by the below campaign number using the full VIN of the relevant motorcycle.
