What is wrong
Ohlins Racing AB (Ohlins) is recalling certain steering dampers manufactured with an incorrectly machined bracket. These dampers were sold for use as aftermarket equipment on BMW S1000RR and R1200R motorcycles. The affected brackets may crack.
What could happen
If there is a crack in the steering bracket, as low speeds it may cause the steering to lock, leading to personal injury or a crash.

Ohlins will notify the distributors and provide their customers with a new bracket. The recall began on July 2, 2013. Owners may contact Ohlins USA at 1-828-692-4525.
