These cases, identified by part number 77 43 9 443 542, have a locking flap that may fail to function correctly. This defect can cause the top case to unexpectedly detach from the motorcycle while in motion. Dealers will repair the locking mechanism and provide an updated rider's manual insert for free.
A top case that detaches while riding becomes a road hazard for other vehicles and increases the risk of a crash for the rider and others.
Repair of the locking mechanism and manual update.
