7/11/2018 – 12/02/2022 The affected vehicles have been marked with campaign number 0000232600 in AIR. 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 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
After close inspection it has been found that in rare cases that riding maneuvers with an abrupt RPM difference between the engine and final drive can result in an overload of the transmission input shaft. As a result the input shaft can break, which can lead to critical riding conditions. This fault pattern can only occur in the above listed R 1250 models because the software application of the engine control permits significantly higher rev level differences than in the R 1200 models.
PROCEDURE
The engine control unit must be updated according to the model-specific repair instructions “61 00 510 – Programming vehicle control units”. The corresponding software (I level K001-22-11-501 or newer) is available at dealer level with ISTA version 4.39.2x. For vehicles not yet delivered the software update must be completed prior to retail to the customer. For vehicles already delivered to customers, the Recall must be carried out during the next workshop visit. Customer letters have been sent to customers with retailed effected motorcycles to arrange a date and time to have the dealer perform the required software update for this Recall.
