The issue
On certain motorcycles, the left combination switch may not have been manufactured correctly. As a result, the turn signals may not work.
Safety risk
Turn signals that don't work may cause a person not to recognize when a driver intends to turn or change lanes and could increase the risk of a crash.
What to do
None of the affected motorcycles have been delivered to customers. BMW Motorrad will instruct dealers to replace the left combination switch before each motorcycle is delivered.
To find out whether your motorcycle is affected, contact a BMW dealer with your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy.
