What This Recall Means

Component

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

What Happened
The throttle valve control is like a messenger that tells your motorcycle's engine how fast to go. In some 2012 K1600 GT and K1600 GTL models, this messenger might send the wrong signal, slowing down your engine.
Risk if Unfixed
If the engine speed is limited too much, it could stall while you're riding, which could lead to a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the software that controls the throttle, and this update is completely free. You should schedule the repair when you receive the recall notice.
