This float is required only for the initial, vacuum-assisted filling of the system. As long as the float remains in the reservoir it is subsequently not possible to obtain a clear reading of the brake-fluid level. In order to make it easier for the fluid level to be read correctly, the float has to be removed.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10147749-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10147749-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10147749","components":[{"id":"brakes","name":"Brakes","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BMW","model":"S1000 XR","year_from":2015,"year_to":2015,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"BMW","model":"S1000 XR","year_from":2016,"year_to":2018,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2016_bmw_s-1000-xr","2017_bmw_s-1000-xr","2018_bmw_s-1000-xr"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
