The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the recall repairs completed by a BMW Motorrad dealer during Transport Canada recall no. 2024-561 may not be effective. As a result, certain motorcycles require a second repair.
On certain motorcycles, the reverser control unit may not have been sealed properly. As a result, water could enter the control unit and cause it to corrode. If this happens, the control unit could short circuit.
Note: This problem could cause the reverse function not to work.
A short circuit can create the risk of a fire.
What to do
BMW Motorrad will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorcycle to a dealership to replace the reverser control unit.
