BMW Recalls Thousands of Motorcycles Due to Brake Failure Risk
By injuheis on June 30, 2010
According to the NHTSA, 15,532 U.S. motorcycles have been recalled by BMW as a result of possible brake defects. The German manufacturer is concerned that “vibrations could cause the front brake lines to develop leaks that could allow brake fluid to escape. In a worst case scenario, this could lead to a failure of the front brakes,” according to a www.telegraph.co.uk report.
The recalled motorcycles are from the K1200 and R1200 series for model years 2007 to 2009.
Maryland motorcyclists who ride BMW’s need to take this recall seriously. Riding on a motorcycle is hazardous enough, let alone one that has no working front brakes. If you ride a BMW motorcycle, please have your bike examined immediately.
