What Happened

Risk if Unfixed
If you don't know the 'front wheel lift-off assistant' is off, you might experience unexpected handling and loss of control while riding. This could increase your risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will check the settings and make any necessary adjustments for free. You should schedule a visit as soon as you get the recall notice and check the settings yourself to ensure you're riding safely.
