recall in France

[jwpzx9r]

Hi All
Just had a phone call from my local BMW dealer who has asked me to make an appointment to have my 2005 recalled for a rear wheel issue. Has anybody an knowledge of a rear wheel issues on the 2005 model ? Will report back when I know more.

I think that'll be for the disc mounting flange which has been known to crack.

Really so it has taken them 10 years to decide to do something about this issue. So what do they do replace the wheel or check for a crack?

There was a recall over here a year or two ago IIRC.

It's just the mounting flange that gets replaced, it's separate from the wheel.

Do a 'Google', loads of stuff out there on it.

Had my 2006 bike done. They replaced the early aluminium mounting flange with the later steel flange.

I believe the issue was caused by potential over-torqueing of the disc mounting bolts at service.

All done FOC so get it in.

That's the excuse but really a solid disc flange would have done a better job and probably weighed little more than the fancy machined steel flange.

There is also a chance the wheel bearing will be upset when they do the job so expect a bill for a new wheel bearing sooner than you expected.
