Damaged Link Strut May Affect Riding Stability – 2019-2020 BMW K1600 GT, K1600 GTL, & K1600 B Motorcycles

SEOCONTENT-START

22V-023 Amendment 1 Chronology 11 Aug 2022 On July 22, 2021, BMW became aware of an incident in China involving a 2020 BMW K1600 GT. It was reported that the rear link strut had broken, and the rear of the motorcycle had contacted the rear wheel. The rider was able to control the motorcycle. In October and November, two further field reports from China, involving two 2020 BMW K1600 B models were received. Preliminary information suggested that these incidents may also have involved a possible issue with the rear link strut. In both cases, the rider was able to control the motorcycle. An engineering review was initiated along with discussions with the supplier. Parts were requested for return and analysis. Technical specifications of the rear link strut, and supplier production process records, were examined. The field returned parts were tested and analyzed, and it was found that they did not have the specified strength characteristics. After the engineering review and discussions with the supplier, it was determined that the rear suspension link struts may not have been produced to specifications as a result of a heat treatment anomaly in the supplier production process. Motorcycle assembly information and supplier production records were reviewed to identify the production volume and date range of potentially affected motorcycles. On January 13, 2022, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall. BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware of any accident or injuries associated with this issue. After the implementation of 22V-023, and due to evolving concerns based upon supplier production records, the field continued to be monitored, and a parts return program was initiated in Germany. The parts return program was able to collect approximately 50 parts for testing and analyses. Of these parts, approximately 25% were shown to not have been produced to specifications by the supplier. As a result, it was deemed necessary to include additional potentially affected motorcycles in the recall. On August 4, 2022, BMW decided to expand the voluntary safety recall. BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware of any accident or injuries associated with this issue for the expanded population.

TREAD ACT Dealer Quick Tips (the following information does not replace the information found in the BMW Motorrad Warranty Policy and Procedure Manual. See sections 5 “Tread Act Customer Reimbursement” & 7 “Claim Entry – Special Situations” for full details.) Recall campaign check: 1. Verify in AIR that the VIN was affected by the recall campaign. 2. If the recall process has an “inspection” or “check” process, have the customer bring the vehicle in for inspection/check. 3. If the vehicle does not pass the inspection, perform the recall. 4. If the vehicle passes the inspection, claim the inspection/check on the current repair order. This will clear the recall “flag” from the vehicle VIN once a claim is submitted. Previous repair, customer reimbursement request with repair invoice: 1. Verify in AIR that the VIN was affected by the recall campaign 2. Obtain a copy of the paid repair order. 3. Expenses for repairs performed more than 10 days after the owner notification was sent by BMW are not eligible for reimbursement. 4. Verify that the repair made pertains to the recall campaign. Only the repair outlined in the published safety recall service bulletin is eligible for reimbursement. 5. Inspect the vehicle (if available) to make sure it complies with the approved recall repair procedure. 6. Claim the “inspection/check” process using the claim information in the service information bulletin. This will clear the recall “flag” from the vehicle VIN. 7. Submit a warranty claim for reimbursement under defect code 85 99 00 45 NA for the amount requested under sublet 03. FAS should not be used. 8. The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for BMW Genuine Parts will be considered as the guideline for reasonable part charges. 9. Use current repair date and mileage for claim submission. 10. Retain copies of the customer paid invoice and the current repair invoice in your records. 11.

Foreign States 92436 Country : Germany Chronology : On July 22, 2021, BMW became aware of an incident in China involving a 2020 BMW K1600 GT. It was reported that the rear link strut had broken, and the rear of the motorcycle had contacted the rear wheel. The rider was able to control the motorcycle. In October and November, two further field reports from China, involving two 2020 BMW K1600 B models Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-023 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 were received. Preliminary information suggested that these incidents may also have involved a possible issue with the rear link strut. In both cases, the rider was able to control the motorcycle. An engineering review was initiated along with discussions with the supplier. Parts were requested for return and analysis. Technical specifications of the rear link strut, and supplier production process records, were examined. The field returned parts were tested and analyzed, and it was found that they did not have the specified strength characteristics. After the engineering review and discussions with the supplier, it was determined that the rear suspension link struts may not have been produced to specifications as a result of a heat treatment anomaly in the supplier production process. Motorcycle assembly information and supplier production records were reviewed to identify the production volume and date range of potentially affected motorcycles. On January 13, 2022, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall. BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware of any accident or injuries associated with this issue. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : The rear link strut will be replaced. Owners will be notified by First Class mail and instructed to take their motorcycle to an authorized BMW motorcycle dealer to have the remedy performed for free. If this condition were to occur to a potentially affected motorcycle prior to this recall, the remedy would be covered by the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty program. Therefore, reimbursement for a pre-notification remedy re Part 573.13 and Part 577.11 is not necessary.
