Check if your BMW Motorcycle has a Recall
August 14th, 2017
Dear BMW Motorrad USA Dealer
As you are aware BMW has issued several recalls and campaigns in the last months leading to several stop sales. We understand the challenges you are facing and assure you that BMW Motorrad takes customer safety very seriously. We have already communicated each of these recalls to you through our normal channels, however given the relatively large number of recalls taking place at the same time we feel it would be appropriate to summarize the actions we are currently taking on each:
R 1200 GS Adv Stop Sale: Information will be published on Aug 17th to remove the aluminum side case mounts before delivering the motorcycle to the customer. A permanent solution will take several months to deliver. The customer will be notified when a solution is available and will be asked to return to the dealer to have the rack reinstalled with the fix. In the meantime the customer will be presented with a good will gift (BMW soft duffle a value of $259.00) to use for travel. In addition they will receive a discount of 10% on aluminum panniers when they return later for the final fix. Details will be outlined in the bulletin, you may resume deliveries once you receive the service bulletin on Aug 17th as the process outlined must be followed.

Both BMW and DHL are aware of the problem and are working together to resolve the issue. Parts are available for repair/replacement. Damage parts must be replaced with new parts.

Recall System Improvements: BMW have taken several steps to improve the dealer’s ability to identify vehicles with open recalls at your dealership. Sales STOP flags now appear in Sales, Warranty and Technical Service systems. The warranty screen now links directly to service bulletins and allow you to search multiple VIN’s under the campaign view screen. Several additional enhancements are coming such as open recall warning/block during the RDR process and real-time phone alerts when stop sales are announced.
Dealer units where free flooring expired but floor plan is with another source, dealers will be credited via Misc. Billing after 60 days the original stop sale date.
