What Happened
The rear wheel mounting system on your motorcycle is made up of several parts, including the lugs, nuts, bolts, and studs that hold the rear wheel in place. The problem is that the flange, which is the metal part that the bolts attach to, can crack if the bolts are tightened too much.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flange cracks, the bolts could loosen and your rear wheel could come loose while you're riding, which could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the aluminum rear wheel flange with a stronger steel one, completely free of charge. This repair is a safety precaution to ensure your motorcycle's stability and safety.
