Copper residue can remain in the tapped hole where the upper fork bridge attaches to the frames. Moisture can cause corrosion to occur between the copper residue and the aluminum frame. The stress of the connecting bolt attaching the upper fork to the frame could them decrease, leading to loosening, and ultimately, breakage of the bolt. If this happening, the dynamic stability of the motorcycle would be affected and a loss of control could occur. Correction: dealers will ream the hole in the frame head and install a helicoil thread insert and a new bolt.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"RC2001-255","part_number":null,"units":250,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Autres","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certaines motocyclettes à cadre chromé, des résidus de cuivre peuvent avoir été laissés dans le trou fileté servant au montage de la traverse supérieure de la fourche sur le cadre. L'humidité peut entraîner la formation de corrosion entre les résidus de cuivre et le cadre en aluminium. Il se peut alors que le boulon qui sert à fixer la partie supérieure de la fourche sur le cadre perde sa force de retenue, se desserre et éventuellement se brise. Si c'est le cas, la stabilité dynamique de la moto en sera compromise et une perte de contrôle peut s'ensuivre. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront aléser le trou en question et poser une douille filetée et un écrou neuf."},"vehicles":[{"year":1998,"make":"BMW","model":"R1200C","vehicle_id":"1998_bmw_r-1200-c","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1999,"make":"BMW","model":"R1200C","vehicle_id":"1999_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/2001255"}
