What the hazard is
An engine stall or vehicle fire could increase the risk of serious injury or death to riders, other road users, bystanders and/or damage to property.
What to do
Owners of affected vehicles should immediately contact their preferred authorised BMW Motorrad dealer or BMW Australia’s hotline on 1800 243 675. The installed oil filter will be checked and replaced if required. All work is completed free of charge.
Defect
A production batch of oil filters had a manufacturing defect that can result in the threaded connection becoming loose at high RPM. As a result, oil could leak resulting in an engine stall or accumulation in the presence of an ignition source resulting in a vehicle fire. The oil filters may have been fitted during a service or oil change.
