active

2006–2009 BMW R1200 RT-P

Category: Motorcycle · Supplier: BMW Australia Ltd

Recall date: 26 April 2010

Defect

Brake lines installed on the affected motorcycles might be installed under strain. The vibrations that occur when the motorcycle is being ridden could cause the brake lines to develop leaks.

Hazard

A leak would cause the level of fluid in the reservoir of the front brake system to drop. If the level drops until the reservoir is completely empty the result can be failure of the front brakes.

Remedy

The motorcycles affected by this problem must be converted to an updated brake line with modified geometry and sleeves installed.
