The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.
The rear side reflex reflectors on these vehicles may not be properly visible in certain traffic conditions. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Obscured reflectors may reduce the visibility of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will modify the license plate holder to reposition the rear side reflex reflectors, free of charge.
