GS LC - ça se complique pour BMW

Suite à la note de service, BMW USA et BMW UK font eux un rappel des machines.
Pas simplement une inspection lors d'un service.

Les cas sont nombreux et l'issue peut être fatale.

La France et la Suisse entre autre continuent de faire comme si de rien n'était.

Par contre les concessionnaires US ne peuvent commander que 10 fixations par semaine. A ce rythme là ...

Après l'affaire des amortisseurs RT, voici le feuilleton de l'été fourches GS.

BMW a de la peine à comprendre et à apprendre de ses erreurs.

Accordingly, BMW Motorrad USA has issued a “stop sale” to BMW dealers, as documents for a recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are being readied for release.

The recall sees BMW Motorrad dealers inspecting the fixed fork tube on R1200GS models produced between November 2013 and June 2017. If the inspected motorcycle has an excessively large gap between the fork pipe and the seal plug, then the fork cannot be repaired by the dealer, and must be replaced.

As of right now, BMW Motorrad USA is telling American dealers that they can order only 10 bushings per week. So by our math, that means this recall could take up to 20 weeks to complete (assuming two bushings per bike, and every machine is affected), as BMW Motorrad has roughly 1,500 dealers worldwide.
