- Fuel System#2020437
4,078 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, the fuel pump flange could crack. If this happens, fuel could leak while the engine is running. Note: This recall only affects motorcycles that did not have the fuel pump replaced under Transport Canada recall 2013-442. Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to replace the fuel pump and auxiliary fuel pump (if equipped) with an improved version.
- Lights And Instruments#2017428
8,961 units affected
Certain motorcycles with dealer installed accessory turn signals may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CVMSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The size of the lens on the accessory turn signals may be too small, and therefore would not meet the requirements of the standard. This could reduce vehicle conspicuity to following and approaching road users, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the accessory turn signals with factory indicators that meet the requirements of the standard.
- Lights And Instruments#2017390
23 units affected
Certain motorcycles outfitted with the police authority package may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CVMSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The brake light is deactivated when the "light switch off" function is activated, which is contrary to the requirements of the standard. This would also reduce vehicle conspicuity to following road users, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will update vehicle software to correct the non-compliance.
- Powertrain#2015101
5,343 units affected
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.
- Suspension#2014222
202 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the piston rod within the rear shock absorber can break without warning. If this were to occur while in motion, the motorcycle would lose stability, possibly resulting in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing personal injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear shock and spring strut assembly.
- Fuel System#2013442
6,325 units affected
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.
