Company: BMW
Models involved: 2007 R1200GS & R1200ST, 2007/08 R1200R
Problem: Engine vibrations could cause front brake lines to … err, vibrate. Vibrating brake lines can wear against other parts and rupture and leak.
Consequence: Loss of brake fluid = loss of braking pressure = loss of brakes = potential nastiness.
Fix: Dealer will replace front brake lines.
Recall Number: 2008153
Company: Yamaha
Models involved: 2005 – 2007 Majesty 400 scooter
Problem: Water may get into the wiring harness at the fuel pump and cause corrosion. This may get bad enough to cause the engine to stall.
Consequence: Stalled engine when riding could freak out the rider and cause a crash.
Fix: Dealer will install a special sub harness that allows water to drain out before reaching the fuel pump. If any parts are already corroded, they will also be replaced.
