## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2017\-2020 K 1600 GT and 2018\-2020 K 1600 GTL and K 1600 B motorcycles.  Certain transmission parts may not have been produced to the appropriate hardness level. This could affect the function of the transmission, possibly causing double engagement of two gears and/or the damage of transmission parts.


## What can happen

Double gear engagement or transmission damage can cause the rear wheel to lock up, affecting the vehicle stability and increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the shift forks, the selector sleeve of 5th/6th gear and the gear wheel of 6th gear, free of charge.  Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk was mailed November 1, 2019.  A second letter will be sent once the remedy is available.  Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1\-800\-525\-7417.
