Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Both of my front calipers leak brake fluid, enough to leave puddles on the ground. This was noticed after the bike had been parked for about two weeks. As of this note the bike is still at the dealership with an unknown eta on parts. I have spoken with Bmw north america and their representative indicated that Bmw is unaware of this issue, however, I can find several people online who are experiencing the same problem. Having the front brakes fail on this motorcycle would be catastrophic.”
NHTSA complaint #11317290, filed 2020-03, 650 miles“Front brake calipers leaking during vehicle rest periods since or before 20th august 2020. A large amount of brake reservoir has been consumed before noticing. This is a known condition as advised by the manufacturer as yet no fix has been implemented on this vehicle. Vehicle is currently stored at the dealer awaiting repair.”
NHTSA complaint #11415766, filed 2021-05“After the brake recall, and new brake calipers and pads were installed, I began to notice significant vibrations of the front end during medium braking. During mild to medium braking going down hill, the front end would seem to bounce.”
