The washers are too large (inside and outside diameters are 2 mm oversize). This can result in the threaded fastener not being sufficiently preloaded, however, it is not possible for the threaded fastener to work loose because the nut is self locking (captive).","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10148060-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10148060-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10148060","components":[{"id":"suspension","name":"Suspension","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BMW","model":"F800 GS ADVENTURE","year_from":2013,"year_to":2017,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2013_bmw_f-800-gs","2014_bmw_f-800-gs","2015_bmw_f-800-gs","2016_bmw_f-800-gs","2017_bmw_f-800-gs"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
