PS 16 and 17 of the BMW recalls is actually a duplicate so they're joint
16 with Yamaha

OTOH, presumably the system doesn't take account of component failure
that are replaced under warranty. Recalls are only done for
safety-related issues, IIRC.

 

Thanks TOG, that's prompted me to put the 955 in for the new fuel
connector recall.

 

Steve Parry says...

When you take into account BMW's very limited range of bikes and the
numbers built and sold, that is a terrible record.

 

Steve Parry says...

Two weeks ago I'd have been whooping with joy and slating everyone
else's choice of steed, because I had a Thunderace. Then I saw this...

.... and came back to earth.

Good job I had the wheels rebuilt on the Enfield ;-)

I notice Subaru cars don't appear at all - is that because they
have never had a recall. Mine's as good as gold.

I had 3 new Impreza Sports in 18 months. Brilliant cars that never had
to have any warranty work done in 40K miles of driving.
