Recalls that may apply to the 1999 BMW R 1100 S
A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.
By component
| 01V272000 | 2001-08-24. FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. THE FLEXIBLE FUEL HOSE LEADING FROM THE FUEL DISTRIBUTOR CAN CHAFE AGAINST THE RIGID LINES OF THE FUEL FEED AND THE RETURN LINES. CONTINUED CHAFING OF THE FLEXIBLE FUEL HOSE CAN LEAD TO FUEL LEAKAGE. Built 1998-04-01 to 1999-04-30. |
|---|---|
| 00V318000 | 2000-10-11. STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES EQUIPPED WITH HIGH-MOUNTED HANDLEBARS. THE HIGH-MOUNTED HANDLEBARS ARE POSITION ON TOP OF THE UPPER FORK CLAMP AND ARE CLAMPED TO THE TOP OF EACH UPPER FORK TUBE. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR A HANDLEBAR TO ROTATE FORWARD. Built 1998-01-01 to 2000-07-31. |
| 00V144000 | 2000-05-18. SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. DUE TO USE OF AN INCORRECT THREAD-LOCKING MATERIAL IN PRODUCTION, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE REAR BRAKE LINKAGE BALL END, WHICH IS SCREWED INTO THE REAR BRAKE LEVER, TO LOOSEN AND EVENTUALLY DETACH FROM THE LEVER. Built 1998-04-01 to 1999-06-30. |
| 98V294000 | 1998-11-10. FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. IF THE ENGINE BACKFIRES DURING THE STARTING PROCESS, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR EITHER THROTTLE BODY TO LOOSEN IN ITS MOUNT, OR TO DISCONNECT FROM ITS MOUNT. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE FUEL LINE COULD BE DAMAGED OR THE LINE AND INJECTOR COULD SEPARATE FROM EACH OTHER, CAUSING FUEL LEAKAGE. Built 1998-04-01 to 1998-11-01. |
| 2002012 | 2002-01-17. Fuel System. Certain motorcycles may experience chafing of the fuel hose against the rigid fuel feed and return lines leading from the fuel distributor. This could result in fuel leakage. Correction: Dealers will replace the right side flexible fuel hose. |
|---|---|
| 2000294 | 2000-12-15. Steering. On certain vehicles, the left and right high-mounted handlebars are positioned on top of the upper fork clamp and are clamped to the top of each upper fork tube. Unfavorable tolerances may exist between a positioning tab on the handlebar mounting bracket and the gap in the upper fork clamp into which the tab fits. As a result, the specified torque value of the upper fork clamp screw and, therefore, maximum clamping force on the upper fork tube may not have been achieved. This could cause the handlebars to rotate forward under certain driving conditions, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: Clamping connection parts will be degreased, positioning tab will be reworked if necessary to fit properly in the gap in the upper fork clamp and the clamping connection torque will be reset. |
| 2000157 | 2000-07-24. Brakes. On certain vehicles, incorrect thread locking material applied during assembly could cause the rear brake linkage ball end, which is screwed into the rear brake lever, to loosen and eventually detach during vehicle operation. If this should occur, the rear brake could no longer be applied. Correction: Brake linkage ball end will be removed from the brake lever and reinstalled with a different thread locking compound, to prevent the ball end from loosening. |
| 1999051 | 1999-03-31. Fuel System. On certain vehicles, an engine backfire during the starting process could cause either throttle body to loosen in its mount. If this happens, the fuel line leading to the right-hand fuel injector or the injector itself may be damaged or the line and injector may separate from each other. If this were to occur, fuel could be expelled from the line. Correction: Fuel distribution unit will be replaced with a unit incorporating a flexible right-hand fuel hose. In addition, the connection between the right-hand throttle body and the air inlet tube will be secured with two screws to prevent damage to the hose or injector should a backfire occur. |
A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
