What happened

BMW of North America is recalling certain 2014-2015 R nine T motorcycles manufactured between November 27, 2013, and January 26, 2015, because the rear turn signals may be partially obscured from the view of drivers following behind. This design issue means the lights may not be clearly visible in certain road and traffic conditions, increasing the risk of a crash, and the motorcycles do not meet federal safety standards for lighting equipment.

To remedy the problem, BMW dealers will replace the rear turn signals with ones that have longer arms at no cost to owners. The recall began on October 21, 2016. Affected owners should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 to arrange the replacement.
