What the hazard is
A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and/or damage to property.
What to do
Owners of affected vehicles should immediately contact their preferred authorised BMW Motorrad dealer to have the starter relay replaced, free of charge.
Defect
The starter motor relay plastic cover may have been damaged during production, allowing moisture to enter into the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). As a result, the rider may be unable to restart the engine and/or an electrical short circuit may occur leading to a vehicle fire.
