would have had to resolve the problem at their own expense, while the BMW Motorrad system would show that the Recall was done even though, possibly in many cases, it would have been just a check - not the solution as provided in the Recall. There are cases on the internet of owners that have spoken of such obstacles. --I showed a video recording that I have with me of the sound that is coming from the rear wheel, and the Service Manager said it was a sound that justified attention. However, after that, though I have written to set up an appointment to have it checked under the Recall, they have not done so. I have a record of having written to them. -As yet there has not been an accident, so you are first authority to whom I am reporting this matter, for prevention. -I have been concerned enough with intermittent clicking sounds that I have been hearing from January 2022 when the odometer showed 22000 miles. These have become persistent and loud. There are between 23000 and 24000 miles at present. These are low miles for this kind of problem.

was operating as needed however, the wheel speed sensor was defective. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V549000 (Wheels) which he linked to the failure. The contact took the motorcycle to a third dealer where he was informed that the motorcycle was included in the recall prior to him owing the motorcycle; however, the wheel bearing was inspected but not replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed him that the recall was properly serviced. The motorcycle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000. The VIN was not available. The consumer stated after contacting the VP of BMW in his region, the recall has been performed and the motorcycle is driving great.

$965 from bmw dealer plus $480 labor cost and $82 in tax. I contacted bmw customer relations who told me my vin number wasn't part of the recall. I don't understand why the bearing wore out prematurely, and how there could possibly be certain models where they used different bearings, or installed it differently that it would not prematurely wear. They said they would consider my request for re-review. That was 3 months ago, and I didn't hear back from bmw at all. When I think about it, I could have been in an accident had it failed on my ride home.

recall is marked complete. If the bike has 100,000 miles on it and damage is found, bmw will replace the axle assembly only if an inspection had not been done previously. In other words, it is in bmw's interest to inspect bikes and perform their "inspection" as soon as possible so that they are not obligated to pay for repairs. The damage caused by this failure is a significant safety hazard. The rear wheel bearing failing can cause the wheel to seize while riding which can cause the operator to lose control of the vehicle. Bmw has told me specifically that it is unsafe to ride the motorcycle. However, because the inspection was done previously as part of the recall, they are unwilling to cover the repair costs.
