Campaigns on record across the BMW R-80 (1978–1989), from Transport Canada and, tagged NHTSA, the United States. Pick a model year for the Canadian listing, and check your VIN with BMW to confirm which apply.
On certain motorcycles, the contacting surfaces which activate the front and rear brake light switches may become misaligned. Misalignment of either of these surfaces could cause that brake light switch to fail prematurely. If this should occur, the brake light would not function for that particular brake. This could, depending on operating conditions, result in a crash with another vehicle or vehicles. Correction: Front and brake lever will be modified, a cap will be placed on the rear brake stop bolt and the front and rear brake light switches will be replaced with a newer switch if the vehicle is not already so equipped.
