BMW Motorrad R1200gs: Oil May Leak Onto Rear Tyre
BMW R1200GS Recall Summary BMW Motorrad is recalling 1,049 R1200GS motorcycles in the United Kingdom because a shaft sealing ring at the gearbox output may become dislodged due to oil pressure, potentially causing oil to leak onto the rear tire. This oil contamination could increase the risk of loss of control or the rider being thrown from the motorcycle. The fix involves installing a retainer on the gearbox.
