2013 BMW S 1000 RR recalls

Recall 12V-585: Structure

Reported Dec 14, 2012 · 2,385 vehicles affected · BMW of North America, LLC

Problem: BMW is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 S 1000 RR motorcycles manufactured September 2011, through December 2012. Due to a manufacturing fault, the side-stand attachment bolts could start to loosen. The loosening of the side-stand bolts could cause the stand to separate from the frame of the motorcycle.

Risk: A separation of the side-stand could cause the motorcycle to fall, causing a risk of injury.

Fix: BMW will notify owners, and dealers will clean the sidestand mounting plate threads and replace the side-stand mounting plate bolts, free of charge. The recall began on January 29, 2013. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at [email protected].
