Does this cover bikes in the UK??

A water problem, in the UK? Almost certainly!

I think Dutchman has posted this info already, so I'm pretty sure it applies to bikes worldwide, with certain VIN numbers (that I think were in Dutchman's post). I haven't got round to checking mine yet, and I haven't heard from my dealer either.

My bike is on the recall list.

Well I popped into my dealer today (for yet another left hand pannier!) and asked them about this. My bike (a september build) does not require the recall.

Which is nice

Mine was also a september build and thus not on the list.

For those who don't know, the quickest way to check the part of the VIN number used to identify your bike (ZNxxxxx) and if it requires the recall is to look on your owners card from BMW

Recall vin numbers 1/2 way down.
