There is an immediate recall for the BMW GS, which can cause serious problems. Here is the reason for this decision.
Recalls are a much discussed topic in the world of mobility, but to be honest, we must say that they almost always only concern cars and rarely motorbikes. With today’s technology, it takes little to identify a very serious problem, which can even cost the factory recall of thousands of models. This time, it was the BMW Motorrad department that made a mistake of some kindand to end up in the midst of controversy.
In particular, the model subject to the recall is the BMW GS, one of the workhorses of the Munich company, a much loved motorbike which has achieved great satisfaction over the course of its experience. At this point, let’s take a look at the reason for the recall and how the story will develop.
BMW, that’s why the recall was chosen
On the website “Motociclismo.it“, we talked about what happened to the brand BMW Motorrad, and to a problem that has recently emerged on his motorbikes. In fact, some examples of the R 1300 GS were subjected to an immediate recall, as stipulated by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority. We must point out that the problem from a security point of view is not the most dangerous there is, but it is right to intervene to ensure that no nasty surprises arise.
Certainly, for the Munich company it is not positive news, given that the recall concerns the beauty of 18,125 models, and everything was caused by possible defects in the closure of the Vario cases. In essence, it is not a serious problem as could be a failure of the brakes or the engine, or of any other mechanical part, but it is clear that opening a top case could cause objects to come out, which when traveling at high speeds can become very dangerous for those who follow.
As it is known, the recall will be completely free for owners of the BMWs involved, and this is why the Bavarian brand will have various expenses to face. The problem, in any case, should be easy to solve, and we are certain that in a short time, everything will be fixed. The hope is that, subsequently, no further problems arise, and that things will resolve themselves in the best possible way.
