Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic
Manufactured:
12/31/2001 - 04/29/2002
Affected:
522
Defect:
On certain motorcycles, the screws that attach the rear brake caliper to the rear swing arm were not tightened correctly during assembly. the screws could loosen during vehicle operation and eventually fall-out, allowing the rear caliper to separate from its mount.
Consequence:
If the caliper becomes trapped between the rear wheel and the swing arm, it could disconnect from the brake line, resulting in a loss of rear braking capability and increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will check the torque of the rear brake caliper attachment screws and retighten them to the proper value if necessary. owner notification began july 15, 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.

Component:
Wheels
Manufactured:
12/31/2001 - 05/30/2002
Affected:
576
Defect:
On certain motorcycles, due to a manufacturing defect, it is possible that the wheel could develop a crack. over time, the crack could worsen to the point that the wheel failed and the drive belt derailed.
Consequence:
This would result in a loss of drive capability at the rear wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the rear drive belt wheel. owner notification began september 10, 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117, option #4.

Campaign:
02V191000 on 07/25/2002
Component:
Wheels:lugs/nuts/bolts
Manufactured:
12/31/2001 - 07/30/2002
Affected:
577
Defect:
On certain motorcycles, it is possible that the hex nut that secures the wheel to the gearbox output shaft was tightened incorrectly during the vehicle assembly. as a result, the nut could loosen during vehicle operation. if this happens, the belt wheel would itself loosen on the output shaft, resulting in damage to the internal splines of the wheel and to the external splines of the output shaft as the vehicle is operated.
Consequence:
Over time, the splines could be damaged to the extent that the output shaft would not longer operate the drive belt, resulting in a loss of drive capability at the rear wheel.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the hex nut torque and adjust the tightness if necessary, and secure the nut with loctite. owner notification began september 10, 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117, option #4.

Defect:
On certain motorcycles, the plastic fuel pump flange could come into contact with a sufficient amount of acid or chemical compounds containing acidic elements, such as battery acid or certain cleaning products.
Consequence:
The flange could become brittle, crack, and allow fuel to escape from the fuel tank. fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Correction:
Dealers will install an acid-resistant cap over the fuel pump flange. the recall began june 10, 2004. owners should contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
