FRONT BRAKE OIL IS LEAKING TWICE. FIRST OLI LEAKING IS AT 600MILES, AND THEY CHANGED THE PARTS, AND YESTERDAY HAPPEND SAME AT 1384 MILES AND IT IS COMMON ISSUE WITH 2019 BMW GS, RT, MODELS . SO I WENT DEALER TO CHANGE ONLY PARTS.AND I FEEL DANGER WHEN I RIDE A MOTORCYCLE WITH FRONT BRAKE OIL LEAKING ISSUE, AND THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT RECALL ISSUE YET. IT IS LIFE MATTER !!

BRAKE CALIPER FAILURE ON FRONT END OF THIS MODEL. FIRST EVIDENCE WAS LEAKING FLUID FROM CALIPER ONTO WHEEL RIM WHILE PARKED. WAS TOLD BY BMW ROADSIDE SERVICE TO NOT RIDE IT SINCE THE BRAKE IS LEAKING. THEY PICKED IT UP ON 12/3/19 AND IT'S STILL AT CINCINNATI BMW AS OF TODAY WITH NO RESOLUTION FROM BMW. HEAD SERVICE ADVISORS FROM BOTH FALCONE BMW OF INDIANAPOLIS AND CINCINNATI BMW HAVE STATED BMW KNOWS ABOUT THE FAILURE AS THERE ARE SERVICE ADVISORIES ON THIS, THE GSA, AND THE RT. YET BMW CONTINUES TO LET THIS MODEL BE RIDDEN AND SOLD WITH A POTENTIAL LETHAL OUTCOME!!! THE MANUFACTURER OF THE BRAKES IS HAYES. THE SERVICE ADVISORS SAID THE MODELS WITH BREMBO BRAKES ARE NOT AFFECTED SO BMW KNOWS EXACTLY WHICH MOTORCYCLES HAVE THESE BRAKES. AT A MINIMUM THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THE FAILURE. CERTAINLY A STOP SALE ORDER.*DT*JB
