A BMW spokesperson informed that the recall will affect motorcycles produced between August 2006-May 2009 and is regarding stress fractures in part of the braking system. The problem results from a gradual degradation of a brake hose coupling, which can lead to a minor leak of brake fluid. Although no accidents have come to notice of BMW, the company has advices owners to check front and rear brake fluid reservoirs before riding out on their motorcycles and contact their nearest BMW dealership for further details.
