What is wrong
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2017-2018 C Evolution motorcycles. The front wheel may splash water onto the electrical plug connection of the DC/DC converter's 12V battery ground cable lug, resulting in corrosion of the electrical contacts.
What could happen
Corrosion on the electrical contacts may cause overheating, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace the cable section with the ground cable lug with a repair cable kit, free of charge. In addition, the 12V plug connector to the DC/DC converter will be checked; if contact corrosion is found to be present, additional sections of the wiring harness will be replaced, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 13, 2026. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
