BMW Motorrad K Series: Reduction Of Front Brake Efficiency
BMW Motorrad is recalling 152 K Series motorcycles because vibration during prolonged high-speed riding can cause brake fluid to foam, potentially allowing air into the front brake system and reducing braking power. The motorcycles were distributed in the United Kingdom. BMW Motorrad will bleed the front brake system and install a damper weight in the brake fluid reservoir to fix the issue.

Remedy: Recalled machines will have the front brake system bled and a damper weight installed in the front brake fluid reservoir.
