Safety Recalls

⚠ 1 recall may apply

STRUCTURE:MOTORCYCLE:KICKSTAND/CENTER STANDDec 2012 · 12V585000

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.

Remedy: 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].

These recalls cover some 2013 bikes of this model. Whether one applies to a specific bike, and whether the repair has already been done, depends on its VIN — check your VIN with NHTSA or ask a dealer.
