BMW of North America is recalling 2,376 model year 2017-2018 BMW G310R and 2018 BMW G310GS motorcycles.

Over time, repeated use and loading of the side stand could cause damage to the side stand and the motorcycle's frame.

Damage to the side stand and/or frame may result in the motorcycle unexpectedly falling over while it is stationary, increasing the risk of injury.

What to do

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the frame, installing a reinforcement plate and new side stand, or the frame will be replaced if necessary, free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin August 7, 2018.

Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
