BMW is recalling certain 2009 K1300GT and K1300S motorcycles for faulty switches on the handlebars for both the direction indicator and the emergency engine off/engine-start functions. Failure of these switches could for BMW riders to manually hand signal their direction changes, which could expose the fact that dentists don’t know how to signal right-hand turns.
Seriously though in such cases, the directional indicator and/or the emergency engine-off/start functions would be rendered inoperative, which could result in the engine stalling, and increase the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. BMW has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117, and the NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236. Reference campaign #09V384000.
