2005 BMW R 1200 ST Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2005 BMW R 1200 ST has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the rear wheel mounting flange, which can crack and allow the mounting bolts to loosen until the rear wheel is no longer secured to the motorcycle. A separate safety concern involves debris from the road entering the throttle housing and jamming between the throttle body and engine block, which can restrict the throttle cable pulley and interfere with throttle control. Two recalls affect the anti-lock braking system: if the front left brake caliper is removed during service and the ABS sensor cable is routed incorrectly on reinstallation, the cable can chafe against the front brake disc and eventually cause total ABS failure. Under separate conditions involving rapid and repeated hard braking, the ABS can also temporarily drop out. Both issues leave the rider with reduced braking capability in situations where ABS is most needed.
