Recall of the 2005 BMW R12-00 GS Motorcycle

Bayerische Motoren Werke

Models:  BMW R12-00 GS, 2005
Number Potentially Involved:  99
Dates of Manufacture:   January - March 2004

Defect:  On certain motorcycles, the Integral Anti-lock Brake System (IABS) sensor sealing O-ring connection at the rear axle housing may have been damaged during the assembly process, causing oil leakage. If this happens, oil could contact the rear wheel and the rear wheel brake disk. The rider may not be able to control the motorcycle, which could result in a crash.

Remedy:   Dealers will replace the rear wheel IABS sensor sealing O-ring. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during July 2004. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
