Reporting safety defects
If you think that your motorcycle has a fault which may cause an accident, injury or death, you must inform the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) immediately and BMW of North America, LLC.
If the NHTSA receives other similar complaints, it may open an investigation. If it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, the NHTSA may order the manufacturer to perform a recall and remedy campaign. However, the NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer, or BMW of North America, LLC.
You can contact the NHTSA by calling the Vehicle Safety Hotline on 1-888-327-4236 (Teletypewriter TTY for the hearing impaired: 1-800-424-9153) for free, by visiting the website at http:⁄⁄ www.safercar.gov or by writing to Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. Further information on vehicle safety is available at http:⁄⁄ www.safercar.gov.

Have all maintenance and repair work confirmed in the "Service" chapter in this manual. Documentation confirming regular maintenance is essential for generous treatment of claims submitted after the warranty period has expired (goodwill).

BMW Running-in Check
The BMW running-in check must be carried out between 300 mls (500 km) and 750 mls (1200 km).
BMW Service
BMW service is carried out once a year. The scope of the services performed may be dependent on the motorcycle owner and the mileage driven. Your BMW Motorrad retailer confirms that the service has been performed and enters the date for the next service.
For riders who drive long distances annually, it may be necessary to come in for service before the entered date. In this case a corresponding maximum odometer reading will also be entered in the confirmation of service. If this odometer reading is reached before the next service date, service must be performed sooner.
