What Happened
The front spring strut in your motorcycle is a crucial part that helps keep your bike stable while riding. In some 2024 BMW bikes, the strut's valve might be made incorrectly, which can cause it to loosen and fail, affecting the bike's stability.
Risk if Unfixed
If the strut fails while you're riding, you could lose control of your motorcycle, making a crash more likely.
Free Fix
Your local BMW dealer will check the strut's production date and replace it if needed, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
