WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The lug nuts and bolts that hold your rear wheel in place are crucial to your motorcycle's stability. In some BMW models, these nuts and bolts can be over-tightened, causing the rear wheel mounting flange to crack.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flange cracks, your rear wheel could become loose, making it harder to control your motorcycle. This could lead to a loss of stability and a greater risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the aluminum rear wheel flange with a more durable steel one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
