Campaign:

Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Manufactured:
08/29/2006 - 02/04/2008
Affected:
4,922
Defect:
Bmw is recalling 4,922 my 2007-2008 r1200r, my 2006-2007 r1200 gs, my 2007 r1200 st, and my 2008 r1200 gs adventure motorcycles. due to the current routing of the front brake lines, it is possible that during riding, the brake lines could be under strain. if the vibration/strain is significant, the brake lines could split and start to develop a leak. if the leak became significant, brake fluid could escape. if this happened, the level of fluid in the reservoir of the front brake system could drop.
Consequence:
If fluid level drops significantly, the front brakes could fail increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect and install new brake lines with a modified routing free of charge. the recall began during august 2008. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
