What is wrong
On certain motorcycles, an incorrect sealing ring was mounted to the piston of the rear brake master cylinder.
The risk
If only the rear brake were applied during riding, insufficient braking pressure would be available to slow the motorcycle, which could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the rear brake master cylinder. The recall began july 16, 2004. Owners should contact BMW at 1-[removed].
Notes from the manufacturer
Customers may also contact the nation highway traffic safety administration auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2 DOT ( 1-[removed]).
