Reporting safety defects

If you think that your motorcycle has a fault which may cause an accident, injury or

immediately and BMW of North America, LLC.
If the NHTSA receives other similar complaints, it may open an investigation. If it finds
that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, the NHTSA may order the manufac-
turer to perform a recall and remedy campaign. However, the NHTSA cannot become
involved in individual problems between you, your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer,
z or BMW of North America, LLC.
You can contact the NHTSA by calling the Vehicle Safety Hotline on 1–888–327–4236
