Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 BMW K1200LTC MOTORCYCLE. WHILE RIDING YESTERDAY, A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WAS NOTICED AND CAUSED THE REAR OF THE BIKE TO WOBBLE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED IT. THE REAR DRIVE UNIT HAS FAILED AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY IF IT HAD HAPPENED AT SPEED ON AN INTERSTATE HWY. I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE DEALER FOR OUT-OF-WARRANTY REPLACEMENT OF THE DRIVE SINCE THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON FAILURE ON THIS MODEL. I AM INFORMING NHTSA TO PROVIDE FURTHER EVIDENCE OF THE MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM. *JB
