REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
If you think that your vehicle 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 manufacturer to perform a
recall and remedy campaign. However, the NHTSA cannot be-
come involved in individual problems between you, your autho-
rized BMW Motorrad dealer or BMW of North America, LLC.
You can contact the NHTSA by calling 1–888–327–4236 to
reach the Vehicle Safety Hotline (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 Administra-
tor, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590.
Further information on vehicle safety is available at the following
website: http:// www.safercar.gov.
Canadian customers who wish to report a safety-related defect
to Transport Canada, Defect Investigations and Recalls may call
the toll-free hotline 1–800–333–0510. You can also obtain other

BMW Motorrad Service
The BMW Motorrad service is
carried out every 24 months
or every 6000 miles (10000
km) (whichever comes first).
The scope of services can
vary, depending on the age of
the vehicle and the distance
covered. Your authorized
BMW Motorrad dealer confirms
that the service has been
performed and enters the date
for the next service.
For riders with high annual
mileage, it may be necessary to
come in for service before the
entered date. In these cases, a
corresponding maximum dis-
tance covered will also be en-
tered in the confirmation of
service. If this distance cov-
ered is reached before the next
service appointment, service
must be performed sooner.
