What Happened
The disc brake system on your motorcycle has a small washer that helps keep the brake disc securely attached. However, this washer can sometimes interfere with the tightness of the brake fasteners.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake fasteners become loose over time, your brake disc could become loose, which can make it harder to stop your motorcycle. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized BMW dealer will remove the washer and re-tighten the brake fasteners to ensure they stay secure – all at no cost to you. You'll be notified when the repair is ready to be done.
