Problem: BMW is recalling model year 2008 GS and GS Adventure motorcycles. In certain situations, such as high generator speeds combined with large demands for electrical current, spurious signals could emerge within the motorcycle’s electrical system. If this were to occur, it could affect the pressure sensor signals of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) control unit. If this happened, the ABS could switch off however, in such a situation, a warning lamp would illuminate. Normal braking would still be available to slow and stop the motorcycle. Any time vehicle control is compromised a crash may occur.
Corrective Action: Dealers will inspect and repair or replace the necessary components free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during April 2009. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
