1,703 units of 12 BMW motorcycle models including the BMW S 1000 RR have been found to have minor cracks in the hose connection of the fuel pump, causing fuel leakage and increasing the risk of fire. Voluntary corrective actions will be taken, and free repairs will be available at official BMW service centers starting from the 29th.

For 535 units of 5 motorcycle models including the Ducati M821 imported and sold by MotoRossa, insufficient durability of the rear brake hose has caused minor damage, allowing air to enter the hose and resulting in longer braking distances, which may lead to accidents. Free repairs will be available at official service centers starting from the 26th.

Regarding these defect corrections, each manufacturer will notify vehicle owners of the corrective measures via mail and mobile text messages. If vehicle owners have repaired the defects at their own expense before the recall, they may apply for reimbursement of the repair costs from the manufacturer.
