BMW Motorrad R Series: ABS May Fail
BMW Motorrad R Series Recall Summary BMW Motorrad is recalling 4,582 R Series motorcycles because the ABS sensor cable can be incorrectly routed during tire changes, potentially causing it to rub against the brake disc and fail. This affects only the ABS function, not the regular braking system. Affected owners will have the ABS sensor cable rerouted as part of the remedy.
