Issue: On certain motorcycles, the material that the tire pressure, compliance and/or noise emission labels are printed on may be incorrect. As a result, the labels could detach from the frame. If this happens, and the owner’s manual isn’t consulted, the correct tire pressure information may not be known. This could lead to the tires being inflated incorrectly and cause poor handling and/or a tire failure. Safety Risk: Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and result in a crash. Corrective Actions: BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to replace the labels.
