STEERING
What Happened
The steering damper in your motorcycle is a critical component that helps stabilize the steering. In some 2024-2025 M 1000 XR and M 1000 R models, the damper's valve pin might not be securely locked inside, which could make steering more difficult than usual.
Risk if Unfixed
If the steering damper's valve pin comes loose, you might feel an unexpected increase in effort when steering your motorcycle. This could lead to a loss of control, making it more likely that you'll crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized BMW dealer will replace the steering damper with a new one that has a secure valve pin, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
