BMW motorcycles — injuries risk (0818/08)

EU Safety GateSerious riskInjuriesAug 1, 2008

Hazard

The product poses a risk of injuries because the steering dampers of the vehicles concerned have a nickel coating which is susceptible to peeling. The resulting chips can cause a partial or total blockage of the damper oil bores. This can make the steering stiff. Blocking can occur only as a result of large-scale loss of coating and at full lock (turning, manoeuvring). If the steering blocks during travel, falls and injuries can occur.
