BMW has issued a voluntary worldwide recall of certain motorcycles with a defective clutch component. The recall affects BMW R1200GS, R1200GS Adventure, R1200RT, R1200ST, and HP2 models manufactured between December 2005 and February 2006 that are equipped with Valeo-made clutches. A faulty thread in the clutch casing can cause the clutch to break while the motorcycle is operating, and fragments from the broken clutch could pierce the engine housing and potentially injure the driver.
The recall was initiated by BMW and notified by Germany. The record does not specify what remedy is available to affected consumers or what actions they should take.
