The affected vehicles have been marked with campaign number 0000710800.
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.
SITUATION
The VIN, Noise Emission and Tire Pressure labels may not be correctly bonded to the frame and could become partially loose or lift. The legally required durability and legibility of the labels can therefore not be ensured for the service life of the vehicle.
Customers will be notified by BMW Motorrad USA via First Class mail advising them of this recall.
Customers will be asked to schedule an appointment with an authorized BMW Motorrad dealer to have the inspection performed. In the case of vehicles that have not yet been delivered, the Technical Campaign must be carried out before delivery to the customers. Vehicles have been marked with a delivery stop.
CORRECTION
The VIN Label, Noise Emission Label and Tire Pressure label must be replaced.
PROCEDURE
In order to ensure the correct bond, the newly glued labels must be pressed onto the frame in a form-fitting manner for at least 4 hours. Please carefully follow the included repair instructions “00 60 345 Replace signs”.
For vehicles in your inventory: Labels for vehicles in your inventory are being mailed directly to your dealership via FedEx with a copy of this bulletin and repair instructions.
For vehicles in service: Labels for vehicles that are in service (retailed) will not be provided directly to your dealership and must be ordered by the dealer performing the repair. The selling dealer will be notified of these VIN’s by email. In a small amount of cases, the servicing dealer may be different, therefore please do not order labels unless you have confirmed with the customer your dealership will repair the vehicle. These labels are printed on demand in Berlin so please plan the customer appointment accordingly. When ordering replacement labels, reference campaign 00 00 71 08 00.

Dear BMW Owner / Lessee:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. BMW AG has decided that certain Model Year 2021 BMW R1250 motorcycle models fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 120 (Wheels and rims – other than passenger cars). Our records indicate that you are the owner of a potentially affected motorcycle.
Why are we contacting you?
We are pleased to inform you that we are ready to perform this recall. Please contact your authorized BMW Motorcycle dealer immediately to schedule an appointment to have this important free repair performed as soon as possible. To locate your nearest BMW Motorcycle dealer, visit www.bmwmotorcycles.com/dealer. If you are not the only rider of this motorcycle, please advise all other riders of this important information.
What could happen?
The tire information label may start to detach from the frame. When adding tire pressure, if the label is not present, and if the Owner’s Manual was not reviewed, the proper tire pressure may not be added which, in a rare case, could increase the risk of a crash.
What will BMW do?
The tire information label will be replaced for free and should take less than one hour.
What if I am not the current owner of this motorcycle?
If you changed your address or sold the motorcycle, please let us know by contacting BMW Customer Relations (see left side of page for contact info). If you are a motorcycle lessor, Federal Regulations require you to forward this notice to your lessee within ten days.
What if I have additional questions?

Campaña de retirada n.º 20V-495: etiqueta de información de los neumáticos
El repuesto está disponible
Octubre de 2020
Estimado propietario o arrendatario de un vehículo BMW:
Le enviamos este aviso en virtud de la Ley Nacional de Seguridad de Tránsito y Vehículos (National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act). BMW AG ha determinado que algunas motocicletas BMW del modelo R1250 del año 2021 no cumplen con el Estándar Federal de Seguridad de Vehículos (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, FMVSS) número 120 (Ruedas y llantas: otros vehículos que no sean autos de pasajeros). Según nuestros registros, usted es propietario de una motocicleta potencialmente afectada.
¿Por qué nos ponemos en contacto con usted?
Nos complace informarle que estamos listos para realizar esta retirada. Comuníquese de inmediato con su distribuidor autorizado de motocicletas de BMW para programar una cita para que le hagan esta importante reparación gratis lo antes posible.

Si usted no es la única persona que conduce esta motocicleta, comparta esta información importante con todos los demás conductores.
¿Qué podría suceder?
La etiqueta de información de los neumáticos podría empezar a despegarse del cuadro. Cuando se inflen los neumáticos, si la etiqueta no está y no se leyó el manual del propietario, se podría poner una presión de aire inadecuada que, en un caso poco común, podría aumentar el riesgo de choques.
¿Qué hará BMW?
Se cambiará la etiqueta de información de los neumáticos de forma gratuita; esto tomará menos de una hora.
¿Qué ocurre si no soy el propietario actual de esta motocicleta?
Si cambió su dirección o vendió la motocicleta, avísenos comunicándose con el Servicio de Atención al Cliente de BMW (BMW Customer Relations) (la información de contacto está a la izquierda de la página).

BMW will notify the selling dealers of retailed VINs (via email) in the next few days so
