The problem

The risk
A separation of the side-stand could cause the motorcycle to fall, causing a risk of injury.
The fix
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will clean the sidestand mounting plate threads and replace the side-stand mounting plate bolts, free of charge. The recall began on January 29, 2013. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at.
