What is wrong
BMW IS RECALLING 365 MY 2005-2006 HP2 ENDURO MOTORCYCLES. THE FRONT THREADED FASTENER OF THE PARALEVER LINK MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED TO CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
