BMW Motorrad Issues Yet Another Recall — Seven Models Affected

BMW Motorrad has issued yet another recall, barely a few days after recalling the R1200GS models.

German two-wheeler manufacturer BMW Motorrad was in the news recently for issuing a recall for the BMW R1200GS models. Now, the German company is back in the news for yet another recall, that has affected seven models and 29,281 units in total.

The reason for the recall this time is because of the aluminium luggage cases that the company offers as optional equipment, which block the view of the motorcycle's rear reflector. With the luggage panniers installed, the motorcycles fail to comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.

BMW Motorrad USA will notify owners about the recall. As to what fix the company has in mind, BMW will either fix reflectors on the cases or install additional brackets on the case mounts — which will be done free of cost.
