2008 BMW R 1200 ST Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2008 BMW R 1200 ST has 2 recalls, both rated equally serious: front brake lines that can develop a leak and fail completely, and a rear wheel that can detach from the motorcycle, either of which can cause a crash. The brake line routing allows vibration during riding to put the lines under strain, which can cause them to split and leak fluid. If enough fluid is lost without the rider noticing, the front brakes can stop working entirely. The rear wheel concern involves the wheel mounting flange, which can crack and allow the mounting bolts to loosen until the wheel is no longer properly secured, leading to sudden loss of stability.
