2008 BMW R1200 RT Recall

Campaign:
09V256000 on 07/07/2009
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic
Affected:
1,535
Defect:
Bmw is recalling 1,535 my 2007-2009 r1200rt motorcycles. due to routing and assembly tolerances of the front brake lines, it is possible for the lines to be under strain. in combination with vibration during riding, the brake lines could develop a leak. the level of fluid in the front brake fluid reservoir could drop rendering the front brakes inoperative.
Consequence:
In the event that only the rear brakes were operational, severe loss of control during hard braking could result. this could result in a serious crash.
Correction:
Bmw will notify owners and repair the motorcycles with new front brake lines, with modified routing free of charge. the safety recall began on october 5, 2009. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
