The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the wheels lugs/nuts/bolts/studs. Here is what owners need to know.
In the affected motorcycles, the rear wheel mounting flange may crack if the rear wheel mounting bolts are over tightened.
If the rear wheel mounting flange cracks, the mounting bolts may loosen and the rear wheel may not remain secured to the motorcycle, causing a loss of stability and increasing the risk of a crash.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the existing aluminum rear wheel flange with a steel one, free of charge.
