BMW R1200GS-A 2007–2008
Hazard
The front-wheel brake line geometry is inadequate, potentially causing stress at both ends of the line due to vibration during operation. This may result in crack formation at the affected area due to operational vibration, leading to brake fluid leakage and, in worst case, reduced braking force.

前輪用ブレーキ配管の形状が不適切なため、走行時の振動により配管両端部に応力が生じる場合がある。そのため、走行時の振動により当該部に亀裂が生じ、ブレーキオイルが漏れ、最悪の場合、制動力が低下するおそれがある。
Remedy
Replace the front-wheel brake line with the corrective part on all vehicles.
