If the bracket were to break, the backrest would detach from its mount.  This is due to the use of square mounting holes and pressed in nuts.  The square hole design results in an increased notch effect at the corners of the holes, which can lead to breakage of the bracket if it is overloaded.  Correction:  Backrest will be replaced with one containing a mounting bracket with round holes.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"RC2001-033","part_number":null,"units":140,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Structure","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certaines motocyclettes, si on surcharge le dossier du siège lorsque ce dernier est en position verticale, il se peut que le support du montant flexible du dossier se fissure et se brise et que le dossier se détache de sa fixation. Le problème provient du fait que l'on a utilisé des orifices de montage carrés et des écrous montés à la presse, ce qui augmente l'effet d'entaille aux coins des orifices. Il se peut donc que le support se brise s'il est surchargé. Correction : On devra poser un nouveau support de dossier dont les trous de montage sont ronds."},"vehicles":[{"year":1999,"make":"BMW","model":"R1200C","vehicle_id":"1999_bmw_r-1200-c","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2000,"make":"BMW","model":"R1200C","vehicle_id":"2000_bmw_r-1200-c","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2001033"}
