Recall 95V-202: 1996 BMW R1100 RT
BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE recall for service brakes, hydraulic, reported to NHTSA on Oct 19, 1995, covering about 660 vehicles.
The problem
The rear brake hose can contact the rear tire as the rear suspension moves through its range of travel.
The risk
The hose can abrade to the point where the hose will leak brake fluid, resulting in a loss of the rear brake. Also, brake fluid leaking onto the rear tire can impair the motorcycle's dynamic stability.
The fix
Dealers will modify the hose guide and re-route the rear brake hose to insure that it cannot contact the rear tire throughout the range of suspension travel.
