BMW is recalling 1,322 accessory side cases designed to fit R1300 GS motorcycles because the latch hooks may not snap properly into the lock. This defect can cause the case lid to open or the entire side case to detach from the motorcycle while riding. Owners of these cases, identified by part numbers 77 41 9 444 361 or 77 41 9 444 362, should contact an authorized dealer for a free repair of the locking mechanism and hinges.
The side case lid can open or the entire case can fall off the motorcycle, creating a road hazard for other drivers and significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will repair the locking mechanism and hinges of the side cases free of charge.
