Reporting safety defects

If you think that your motorcycle has a fault which may cause an accident, injury or

death, you must inform the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)

immediately and BMW of North America, LLC.

If the NHTSA receives other similar complaints, it may open an investigation. If it finds

that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, the NHTSA may order the manufac-

turer to perform a recall and remedy campaign. However, the NHTSA cannot become

involved in individual problems between you, your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer,

or BMW of North America, LLC.

You can contact the NHTSA by calling the Vehicle Safety Hotline on 1–888–327–4236

(Teletypewriter TTY for the hearing impaired: 1–800–424–9153) for free, by visiting

the website at http:⁄⁄ www.safercar.gov or by writing to Administrator, NHTSA, 400

Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. Further information on vehicle safety is

available at http:⁄⁄ www.safercar.gov.
