Defect summary | Bmw is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 k1300 s and k1300 gt motorcycles manufactured between september 11, 2008 and november 19, 2009. Poor fuel quality may lead to small deposits within the throttle bodies. During engine operation in a low rpm range, typically near idle speed (when coming to a stop) air flow could be sufficiently restricted and engine stalling could occur. |
Consequence summary | Engine stalling could result in a vehicle crash. |
Corrective action | Bmw will notify owners and repair the motorcycles by updating the engine management software free of charge. The safety recall began on february 22, 2010. Owners may contact bmw toll-free at 1-800-831-1117. |
