Bayerische Motoren Werke
Models: Â BMW R1150 RT, 2004
Number Potentially Involved: Â 181
Dates of Manufacture: Â April 2004
Defect: Â On certain motorcycles, an incorrect sealing ring was mounted to the piston of the rear brake master cylinder. If only the rear brake were applied during riding, insufficient braking pressure would be available to slow the motorcycle, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy:  Dealers will replace the rear brake master cylinder. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during July 2004. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
