What is wrong

On certain motorcycles, the weld between the side stand and the frame bottom section was not positioned properly. The load-bearing capability of the side stand is affected. As a result, the side stand could fail.

The risk

If this occurred when the motorcycle was parked, the motorcycle could fall to the ground and injure a person sitting on the motorcycle or a person nearby.

The fix

Dealers will install a new frame bottom section free of charge. The recall began on june 1, 2007. Owners may contact BMW at 1-[removed].
