What Happened
The front spring strut in your motorcycle is a critical part that helps control how your bike handles and responds to road conditions. Unfortunately, some of the struts in certain 2024 models were made incorrectly and could fail.
Risk if Unfixed
If the strut fails, your motorcycle could become unstable while you're riding, making it harder to control. This increases the risk of a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized BMW dealer will check the strut's production date and replace it if necessary, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
