- [2024705](/recalls/tc/2024705.md), 2024-11-19: Engine. Issue: This recall is for certain oil filters sold at BMW Motorrad dealerships as a replacement part for 2008 to 2024 models. This recall affects oil filter part number: 11427721779\-04.  On certain motorcycles, the oil filter may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, under certain conditions, the filter could loosen and create an oil leak.  Safety Risk: An oil leak near the rear tire could affect handling and control of the motorcycle. An oil leak could create a hazard for others. Both issues could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, oil that leaks onto hot components could create a fire risk.  Corrective Actions: BMW Motorrad will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your motorcycle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the oil filter.

On certain motorcycles equipped with a Continental ContiSportAttack or ContiSportAttack2 front tire, a separation may develop between the thread, belt and carcass.

Correction: Dealers will replace affected tires.
- [2012428](/recalls/tc/2012428.md), 2012-12-13: Other. On certain motorcycles, the side stand may have been installed incorrectly during the vehicle assembly process.

Correction: Dealers will remove the side stand mounting plate, clean the components, and reinstall using new fasteners.
- [2012140](/recalls/tc/2012140.md), 2012-04-24: Engine. On certain motorcycles, the connecting rod bolts could loosen and separate from the connecting rod. This could cause the rear\-wheel to lock\-up if the engine fails and seizes creating the risk of a crash.  Additionally engine failure may also cause oil to leak in front of the rear tire which may render the vehicle unstable.  These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace connecting rod bolts and apply a thread\-locking agent to the bolts.
