Example complaints

Brakes: “Upon starting the motorcycle the normal checklist was replaced with brake failure . Dealer tested the ABS unit and indeed it failed. Used this motorcycle in a very limited capacity due to limited braking. Dealer stated the unit was not covered under warranty or recall. In researching this problem I have found it is a common issue with this unit. Replaced the ABS unit thru dealer 4/15. I feel this should be addressed thru this agency as it is definitely a manufacturing/programming problem that then becomes a safety issue.”

NHTSA complaint #10704746, filed 2015-04, 14,000 miles

Fuel system: “Throttle sticks on my Bmw k1200gt motorcycle. Very well known issue. In my opinion it should be a safety recall for all of these motorcycles. Doesn't appear that Bmw has a fix for it. Mine has been worked on three times under warranty and still has the same symptom.”

NHTSA complaint #10383344, filed 2011-02, 14,000 miles

Engine cooling: “I own a 2007 k1200gt and live in il. Took my bike for a long ride and in santa fe on 9/7/09 bike started to give me problems. When pulling to stop bike went dead, press start would not start, did it number of times. Finally got the bike started it would hesitate. Whenever RPM's went below 2000 bike would die. Took to santa fe Bmw, they reset computer went on my way. Riding home to il bike problem recurred. Whenever stopping bike would die, if slowing down bike would turn off. Was extremely tense and dangerous ride. Took bike into cycle werks of barrington on 9/12/09. Told them of problem. …”

NHTSA complaint #10291081, filed 2009-11, 25,881 miles
