Check if your BMW Motorcycle has a Recall

 


Chronology :

In November 2022, during functional checks and tests in preparation for an event, BMW became aware of two 2023 BMW M 1000 R motorcycles with unusual hand brake lever movement. The unusual movement corresponded with varying brake lever pressure. An engineering review was initiated.

Various analyses and tests were performed. A review of the engineering specifications of components of the braking system, including the hand brake lever, was conducted. Additional motorcycle models with similar design configurations were identified, including hand brake levers which were available as standard equipment, factory option, and/or aftermarket accessory.

In January 2023, the review indicated that the supplier of the hand brake lever involved in the subject recall was provided with specifications which were insufficient.

Motorcycle assembly information, supplier production records, parts supply chain and aftersales information were reviewed to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected motorcycles.

On February 16, 2023, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall.

BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries that may be related to this issue.
