I’m not particularly sure what’s wrong with today, but even with the frequency of recalls these days, it’s still rare that you get two in one day. Lo and behold, that’s exactly what we have right now after we received word that BMW has issued its own recall involving R and K series models produced during a period of time spanning eight years. Wow. Eight years?
So why did it take BMW this long to identify the problem? I’m not sure I’ll be able to answer that, but what I do know is that these R and K series models have defective rear wheel flanges on the rear suspension that may crack in the event somebody tightens the wheel nuts or the brake disc bolts a little tighter than they should. The problem itself won’t be an issue on the road, but if it’s subjected to improper maintenance, that’s when it might become a headache.
So as a matter of “precaution,” BMW wants owners of R and K series bikes produced between November 2003 and April 2011 to have their bikes checked to make sure if their units are affected by the problem. There’s no information from BMW on how many bikes are affected, but as a precaution of your own, it might be best to go get it checked to see if those wheel flanges need to be replaced.
