BMW of North America, LLC "BMW" is recalling certain BMW motorcycle dealer accessory side cases, designed to fit R1300 GS motorcycles, with part number: 77 41 9 444 361/362. The side case latch hooks may not snap properly into the lock, which can result in the case lid opening, and possibly detaching from the motorcycle.
A side case lid that detaches or the case contents that fall out, can create a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.
Dealers will repair the locking mechanism and hinges of the side cases, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 20, 2024. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
