BMW of North America is recalling 3,368 model year 2014-2017 R NINE T motorcycles.
The bolts that connect the right-side swingarm pivot pin to the frame may loosen.
If the right-side pivot pin loosens, the handling and stability of the motorcycle may be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will remove the pivot pin bolts, clean, and re-install them with the proper torque after applying a thread locking adhesive, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 9, 2017.
Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 or by email at CustomerRelations@bmwmotorcycles.com.
