BMW K1200 Recall

BMW is recalling 30 Model Year 2008 K1200 S and K1200 GT motorcycles.

A set screw may not have been installed at its specific location within the oil duct. Consequently, an adequate supply of oil may not circulate within the engine. It is possible that the connecting rod and crankshaft damage could occur. If this happened, the engine could seize.

If the motorcycle was in gear, engine seizing could result in lock-up of the rear tire, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will install a set screw in the oil duct.

The recall is expected to begin during July 2008. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-331-1117. 08V-239.
