Chronology :
On August 22, 2022, BMW became aware of an incident in Germany involving a 2022 BMW
CE 04. It was reported that the steering may have become blocked, and that the rider was not able to control the motorcycle which resulted in a crash. An immediate analysis was initiated.
The analysis indicated that the steering had become blocked as a result of a horn which had become partially detached from the motorcycle. The analysis also indicated that the mounting hardware for the horn on the subject motorcycle may not have been appropriate. Further evaluations of engineering drawings and specifications determined that the mounting hardware for similarly produced models may not have been appropriate.
On September 1, 2022, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall.
BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW
otherwise aware, of any further accidents or injuries associated with this issue.
