## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain model year 2013 R 1200 GS motorcycles manufactured November 2012 through August 2013.  Pressure inside the transmission may cause the transmission output seal to be pushed out of place.


## What can happen

If the output seal ring is pushed out of its proper position, oil may leak from the transmission onto the rear tire, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will fit a bracket to prevent the transmission seal from being pushed out of position, free of charge.  The recall began on June 17, 2014.  Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1\-800\-525\-7417.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
