What's wrong, in plain English

BMW is recalling certain S 1000 RR motorcycles because the oil cooler hoses may not be attached properly to the oil pipes on the engine. This can allow oil to leak out from where the hoses connect. Leaking oil may drip onto the path of the rear tire as the motorcycle is ridden, which increases the risk of a crash for the rider.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your motorcycle is affected.
2. Contact a BMW dealer, or call BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417, to schedule the repair.
3. The oil cooler assembly, including the hoses, will be replaced free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 19V697000.
