What is being recalled
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2014-2017 R NINE T motorcycles. The bolts that connect the right-side swingarm pivot pin to the frame may loosen.

If the right-side pivot pin loosens, the handling and stability of the motorcycle may be affected, increase the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

The recall began October 16, 2017. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 or by email at CustomerRelations@bmwmotorcycles.com.
