POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The clutch cover on your motorcycle is a critical part that helps you shift gears smoothly. In some 2022-2023 models, the bolts that hold it in place weren't properly lubricated, which could cause the cover to come loose and leak oil.
Risk if Unfixed
If oil leaks from the clutch cover while you're riding, it could lead to a serious loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash or even a fire.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the clutch cover bolts with new ones to prevent oil leaks, and this repair is free. Just schedule an appointment as soon as you get your recall notice.
