BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC recall for service brakes, hydraulic, reported to NHTSA on Apr 24, 2006, covering about 9,260 vehicles.
The problem
On certain motorcycles, if certain procedures are performed that involves removal of the front left brake caliper, the ABS sensor cable can be routed incorrectly and when the caliper is reinstalled, the sensor cable can come into contact and rub against the front brake disc.

Loss of ABS function could increase the risk of a crash during certain riding conditions.
The fix
Dealers will attach additional retaining clips free of charge to the ABS sensor cable, which will provide a more secure connection to the wheel carrier. The recall began on june 5, 2006, and will be a phased mailing through october 2006. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
