What Happened
The tire pressure label on your motorcycle provides crucial information about the correct air pressure for your tires. In some 2021 BMW models, this label may not stick properly to your motorcycle's frame.
Risk if Unfixed
If the label comes loose, you might not have the correct tire pressure information, which could lead to improper inflation. This could affect how your motorcycle handles and increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the tire pressure label with a new one, absolutely free. You'll get a notification about the recall, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
