What is wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. UNDER CERTAIN RIDING CONDITIONS WHEN THE REAR BRAKE AND THE THROTTLE ARE APPLIED SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER SUPPORT COULD BEND, LEADING TO CONTACT BETWEEN THE BRAKE HOSE CONNECTING PIECE ON THE REAR CALIPER AND THE SWING ARM.
What can happen
BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE FROM THE CALIPER COULD OCCUR, RESULTING IN LOSS OF REAR BRAKING CAPABILITY.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER SUPPORT AND, IF IT IS BENT, WILL REPLACE THE SWING ARM, TOGETHER WITH THE CALIPER AND BRAKE HOSE, IF NECESSARY. IF THE SUPPORT IS NOT BENT, IT WILL BE REINFORCED WITH A PLASTIC BLOCK. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 10, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT BMW AT 1-800-831-1117, OPTION #4.
