BMW Motorrad R Series: Throttle Cable May Jam
BMW Motorrad is recalling 477 R Series motorcycles because small objects could become lodged between the throttle valve and engine block, potentially jamming the throttle cable and causing loss of throttle control while riding. The motorcycles were distributed in the United Kingdom. BMW Motorrad will install covers on the throttle cable pulleys to prevent objects from becoming trapped.
