This has not resulted in a change to the part number (12 31 7 718 422). The label affixed to the rear of the component indicates the difference in version status. The new version (FH020CA) is the only one available as a replacement part. This new alternator regulator (FH020CA) should never be installed without a fuse as protection against polarity reversal. If the new alternator regulator were to be installed without this fuse being integrated into the wiring harness, polarity reversal could result in very severe damage to the vehicle.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10152339-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10152339-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10152339","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BMW","model":"K 1200 RS","year_from":null,"year_to":null,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"BMW","model":"K SERIES","year_from":null,"year_to":null,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"BMW","model":"R 1200 C","year_from":null,"year_to":null,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
