2005 BMW K1200GTTransport Canada Recall #2010395
Defect
On certain motorcycles, due to environmental conditions, the bearings of the link lever attached to the rear strut could be subject to corrosion. This could lead to reduced movement of the link lever. Over time, if the corrosion became significant, restriction of movement of the link lever could occur. This could affect handling of the motorcycle. In an extreme case, this could result in the connecting rod breaking by a bending force, causing the rear wheel to decelerate by contact with the inner fender. This could lead to a crash depending on traffic, road conditions and rider's reactions.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the rear suspension relay lever.
