2 recalls across 2 model years
The BMW R1200C has 2 recalls covering the 1998-1999 model years, with the more serious affecting 1998 models where copper residue left in the upper fork bridge mounting hole can corrode against the aluminum frame, reducing the clamping force of the connecting bolt until it loosens and breaks, potentially destabilizing front-end steering control.
The second recall covers 1999 models only and involves the backrest leaf spring mounting bracket. If the backrest is overloaded while held in the vertical position, the bracket can crack and break, causing the backrest to detach from the motorcycle entirely.
