BMW has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2008 R1200 GS and R1200 GS adventure motorcycles. They stated that in certain situations, such as high generator speeds combined with large demands for electrical current, spurious signals could emerge within the motorcycles electrical system. If this were to occur, it could affect the pressure sensor signals of the anti lock brake system (ABS) control unit. If this happened, the ABS could switch off; however, in such a situation, a a warning lamp would illuminate. Normal braking would still be available to slow and stop the motorcycle.
Anytime vehicle control is comprimised a crash may occur. Dealers will inspect and repair or replace the necessary components free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during April 2009. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
