On certain motorcycles, the threaded holes on the rear wheel flange could crack if the wheel bolts are tightened beyond the specified torque limit during servicing. Over time, this could allow the bolts to back out of their threaded holes, causing the rear wheel to become loose. This could result in a loss of stability of the motorcycle, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the aluminum rear wheel flange with a steel flange.
On certain motorcycles, cracks could develop in the fuel pump and/or auxiliary fuel pump flange (if equipped). This would result in fuel leaking when the engine is turned on and the fuel system is pressurized. Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the fuel pump flange(s) and install a reinforcing ring or replace the fuel pump(s), as necessary.
On certain motorcycles, if the hand protector is twisted out of position relative to the handlebar lever, to the extent that lever and protector come into contact, there is a possibility that the handlebar lever remain continuously in the partly operated position. This is turn can cause problems with the brake function and could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Owners will receive a loose-leaf insert as an addendum to the Rider's Manual and two stickers complete with the installation instructions, or owners may have their authorised BMW motorcycle dealers do the installations for them.
Certain motorcycles fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 108 - Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment. The front turn signals were installed in an improper location. As a result, the rider's intentions to turn may not be conveyed clearly to other road users, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the turn signal base.

On certain motorcycles equipped with cross-spoke wheels and the optional tire-pressure monitoring system (TPM), the hole though which the tire inflation valve (and in this case, the integral TPM sensor) is inserted was not manufactured according to specifications. Because of this, the valve may not seat properly in the hole, and a leak may develop. In some cases, it is possible that sudden deflation of the tire could occur. If this happened, motorcycle handling and control would be compromised, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will temporarily deactivate the TPM system, remove the corresponding valves and integral TPM sensors, and then replace them with standard valves. When a permanent repair is available, owners will be notified to bring their vehicle in for reactivation of the TPM system and replacement of the integral TPM sensors and valves.
Certain motorcycles may exhibit a temporary loss of ABS function as a result of an "overpressure" effect in the brake system caused by applying significant force to the brake lever under rapid, repeated and unusually harsh braking. Loss of ABS function can increase the risk of a crash in certain traffic and road conditions. Correction: Dealers will install a banjo bolt with a flow restrictor to the front brake line.
Certain motorcycles may have an incorrectly routed front Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) sensor cable. If certain service procedures are performed, for example, a front tire change which involves removal of the front left brake caliper, it is possible for the ABS sensor cable to be routed incorrectly when the caliper is reinstalled. If this happens, the sensor cable can come into contact with, and rub/chafe against, the front brake disk. Over time, if the chafing becomes severe, it is possible to lose the ABS function. Correction: Dealers will attach additional retaining clips to the ABS sensor cable.
Certain motorcycles may suffer clutch assembly failure while being ridden. Parts of the clutch could work loose resulting in clutch fragments/debris being thrown like projectiles through the engine block. As a result, the rider may receive serious injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the clutch assembly.
