The problem

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2014-2016 F800 GT and 2015-2016 F800 R motorcycles. The rear side reflex reflectors on these vehicles may not be properly visible in certain traffic conditions.

The risk

Obscured reflectors may reduce the visibility of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do
