Brake problems force BMW motorcycle recall


FRANKFURT —
German luxury auto and motorcycle manufacturer BMW on Tuesday launched a global recall of 122,000 motorcycles owing to front brake problems.

A BMW spokesman told AFP the company had uncovered a risk of leaks in the braking systems of its K 1200 GT motorcycles and other models built on the same base.

The recall concerns motorcycles built between August 2006 and May 2009, some of which have already been checked, the spokesman told AFP.

"Over time, it emerged that even corrected braking systems did not resolve the problem 100 percent," he said.

Vibration generated by the motorcycle's operation were found to cause leaks that affected the front brake, the company said, while rear brakes continued to function normally.

BMW has not heard of accidents linked to the problem but "would gladly have foregone having to make another recall," the spokesman said.

The group is the leading manufacturer of luxury cars in the world and also sold 87,306 of its upmarket motorcycles last year.
