DEFECT #1 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Posted on: 2007-02-23
Description
On certain motorcycles, frequent short trips particularly during cold temperatures, can cause water to accumulate in the oil tank, and when the engine is running, escaping water vapor can condense on the oil tank air bleed valve. In freezing temperatures, this water could freeze and block the air bleed valve.
Consequence
It is possible that a pressure build up in the oil tank could cause it to rupture, allowing oil to leak onto the rear tire. An oil leak could cause a fire. Oil on the rear tire could cause loss of control.
Corrective Action
Dealers will install a new oil tank cap containing a valve to prevent overpressure in the tank free of charge. The recall began on april 10, 2007. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.

DEFECT #2 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FLUID
Posted on: 2007-10-04
Description
On certain motorcycles, during long periods of riding at sustained high engine rpm, vibration within the brake fluid reservoir can cause the brake fluid to foam. This could allow air to enter the front brake system which could lead to a loss of front braking efficiency.
Consequence
Air in the brake system can lead to a loss of braking capability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Dealers will bleed the front brakes and install a damper weight in the brake fluid reservoir. This weight will dampen possible vibrations that can cause foaming of the brake fluid. The recall began on december 14, 2007. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
