Vian kuvaus | On the basis of ongoing field observations, BMWMotorrad has ascertained that the fixed fork tubecan suffer preliminary damage due to unusualincidents with momentary high stress without theuser noticing the damage.Through longer usage with high stress thepressed in seal plug can loosen. This usuallyleads to oil leaks, a clacking noise as well asincreasingly imprecise drivability. If these signalsare not perceived or ignored and further highstress incidents occur, the plug may becomecompletely loose. Subsequently, critical drivingconditions cannot be ruled out.Description of the measures taken toavoid endangering consumers:BMW Motorrad is to conduct a TechnicalCampaign with communication of the situation tocustomers.Affected vehicles will be retrofitted with anadditional fixed fork bush, or – if the preliminarydamage is too much – the fixed front tubes arereplaced by appropriately modified new parts. |
