Some components could touch the rear wheel unplanned. A total of 440 motorcycles are affected by the worldwide recall.
“The material of the bearing pin, which connects the swingarm with the angular gear, is not of the correct quality. The necessary yield point is not reached. The error only occurs if the screw connection has been tightened manually in the reworking process.”
It would be possible for the bearing pin to tear, which could loosen the screw connection between the swingarm and the bevel gear. This would allow contact with the spokes of the wheel. Loss of control and accident would be possible.
The models affected are R nineT, R nineT Pure, R nineT Scrambler, R nineT Urban G / S, R 1250 GS, R 1250 GS Adventure, R 1250 RT, R 1250 R, R 1250 RS, K 1600 GT and K 1600 B that were manufactured between 10/31/2019 and 01/30/2020.
