BMW front brake calipers may leak brake fluid when parked.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the service brakes. Here is what owners need to know.
The front brake calipers may leak brake fluid when parked. As such, these motorcycles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 122, "Motorcycle Brake Systems."
Overtime, a leaking front brake caliper can reduce the amount of brake fluid in the reservoir. Low volume could affect brake performance, increasing the risk of crash.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and if necessary, replace the front brake calipers with an improved version, free of charge.
