BMW Motorrad K1200s: Front Brake Efficiency May Be Reduced
BMW Motorrad is recalling 2,304 K1200S, K1200R, and K1200 SPORT motorcycles because air can enter the front brake system, which may reduce braking efficiency and require longer brake lever travel. The fix involves installing a mesh insert in the front brake master cylinder reservoir and updating the owner's manual. This recall affects motorcycles in the United Kingdom.
