What Happened
The tire pressure label on your motorcycle is like a sticker that shows the recommended air pressure for your tires. In some 2021 BMW models, this label might not stay stuck to the bike's frame as it should.
Risk if Unfixed
If the label comes loose, you might not know the correct tire pressure, which could lead to improper inflation. This might cause your motorcycle to handle poorly and may increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the label with a new one that stays in place properly, and this service is free. You'll get a notification when it's time to schedule the repair.
