Side Stand recall for 2013 r1200r

Post by atractaspis »

Did anybody hear from BMW yet? wonder how many 2013 bikes are affected.. now I have another reason to go the dealer (besides just wanting to drool over bikes) and have them make sure mine is or is not on the recall list.

Here is the summary for the recall:

SUMMARY:
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2013 C 600 Sport, C 650 GT, F 700 GS, F 800 GS, F 800 GS Adventure, F 800 GT, R 1200 R and R1200 GS motorcycles. Water may enter the side-stand switch preventing the motorcycle from starting or potentially shutting off the motorcycle while it is being ridden.

CONSEQUENCE:
An unexpected shutdown increases the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the side-stand switch, free of charge. The recall began on April 8, 2014. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
