What Happened
The front spring strut on your motorcycle is like a flexible arm that helps absorb bumps in the road. In some 2024 models, the strut might contain a faulty part that can loosen over time.
Risk if Unfixed
If the strut fails while you're riding, you could lose control of your motorcycle, which increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will check the strut's production date and replace it if it's faulty - all at no cost to you. You'll receive a recall notice, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
