JULY 2010 -- BMW is recalling certain 2005 through 2009 R 1200 RT police motorcycles manufactured from April 2005 through September 2009. The bracket which supports the audible signaling device can break, possibly allowing the signaling device to fall from the vehicle and onto the roadway. Should the signaling device fall from the motorcycle while being driven on the roadways, it could become an obstacle for other drivers which may result in a crash. BMW has not yet provided the agency with a remedy plan and notification schedule.  10V-328

JUNE 2010 -- BMW is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2009 R 1200 and K 1200 series motorcyclesmanufactured from August 2006 through May 2009. Due to the current routing of the front brake lines, it is possible that during riding, and therefore associated vibration. The brake lines could be under strain. If the vibration/strain is significant, the brake line could split and start to develop a leak. If this goes unnoticed, and the brake fluid reservoir runs empty, the front brakes could fail, increasing the risk of acrash. BMW will notify owners and dealers will install new brake lines, containing a "sleeve" along a portion of the lines free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during July 2010.   10V-276

JUNE 2010 -- BMW is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2009 F 650 GS and F 800 GS motorcycles manufactured from September 27, 2007 through March 30, 2009. The drive chains may not have been produced to specification. As a result, over time the drive chain could break. If the broken chain becomes trapped between the rear wheel and the frame, the rear wheel could lock up, possibly resulting in a crash. The manufacturer has not yet provided the agency with a remedy plan or a notification schedule.  . 10V-274

JUNE 2010 -- BMW is recalling certain 2005 through 2007 R 1200 GS Adventure motorcycles manufactured from December 7, 2005 through September 26, 2007. The fuel tank front attachment bolts can work loose allowing the bolts to come into contact with the fork leg if the handlebar is turned a significant amount. This could limit the travel range of the handlebars which could affect handling and maneuverability of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash. The manufacturer has not yet provided the agency with a remedy plan or a notification schedule.  10V-275

DECEMBER 2009 - BMW is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 K1300 S and K1300 GT motorcycles manufactured between September 11, 2008 and November 19, 2009. Poor fuel quality may lead to small deposits within the throttle bodies. During engine operation in a low rpm range, typically near idle speed (when coming to a stop) air flow could be sufficiently restricted and engine stalling could occur. Engine stalling could result in a vehicle crash. BMW will notify owners and repair the motorcycles by updating the engine management software free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during January 2010.  09V-471

DECEMBER 2009 - BMW is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 F650 GS and F800 GS motorcycles manufactured between January 2008 and December 2009. During engine operation, a vacuum is created in order to draw fresh air into the canister. This air then mixes with the fuel vapors captured by the canister, and is subsequently combusted. Due to the routing of the ventilation hose, water near the end of the hose could be drawn into the charcoal canister. Water could flow into the canister causing a stalling condition increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and add an additional hose and route it such that the present defect is prevented. This remedy will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during January 2010.   09V-499

AUGUST 2009 -- BMW is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2008 R1200 GS motorcycles manufactured between August 2006 and January 2008. The sealing of the fuel pump control unit housing might be insufficient and water could intrude into the control unit housing creating a humid atmosphere. Under such conditions, the fuel pump could corrode and then fail. Failure of the fuel pump will cause inadequate fuel to reach the engine and cause the engine to stop running. A loss of engine power without warning could increase the risk of a crash. The manufacturer has not yet provided the agency with a remedy or notification schedule.  09V-319

JULY 2009 -- BMW is recalling 1,535 MY 2007-2009 R1200RT motorcycles. Due to routing and assembly tolerances of the front brake lines, it is possible for the lines to be under strain. In combination with vibration during riding, the brake lines could develop a leak. The level of fluid in the front brake fluid reservoir could drop rendering the front brakes inoperative. In the event that only the rear brakes were operational, severe loss of control during hard braking could result. This could result in a serious crash. BMW will notify owners and repair the motorcycles with new front brake lines, with modified routing free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during August 2009. BMW's recall campaign no. R1200 RT. . 09V-256

JUNE 2009 -- BMW is recalling certain Model Year 2009 K1300 S and K1300 GT motorcycles manufactured between October 1, 2008 and May 1, 2009. In certain riding conditions involving increased vibration, the brake fluid in the front reservoir can foam. This could lead to a reduced braking capability of the front brake system, possibly resulting in a crash. The manufacturer has not yet provided the agency with a remedy or notification schedule.  09V-202

APRIL 2009 --  BMW is recalling model year 2008 R1200 GS and R1200 GS Adventure motorcycles. In certain situations, such as high generator speeds combined with large demands for electrical current, spurious signals could emerge within the motorcycle's electrical system. If this were to occur, it could affect the pressure sensor signals of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) control unit. If this happened, the ABS could switch off; however, in such a situation, a warning lamp would illuminate. Normal braking would still be available to slow and stop the motorcycle. Any time vehicle control is compromised a crash may. Dealers will inspect and repair or replace the necessary components free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during May 2009.  09V-129
