What are the defects?

The screw plug in the rocker arm was not sufficiently tightened during manufacturing. As a result, oil may leak from the affected bolting points.

What are the hazards?

An oil leak may affect the rear tyre. If this occurs it will result in a reduction in traction for the wheel and increase the risk of an accident resulting in injury or death to the rider and/or passenger or other road users.

What should consumers do?

Consumers will be contacted by BMW Group Australia or a BMW Motorrad dealer. Consumers can contact an authorised BMW Motorrad Service centre, or call the BMW Group Interaction Centre on
