  • Recall 2018159 [Canada]: Accessories
    Certain tinted windshields sold as accessories through bmw dealerships may fail to comply with the requirements of canada motor vehicle safety standard (cmvss) 205 - glazing materials. The windshields may contain extra tinting in certain areas, which would be contrary to the requirements of the standard and could potentially limit the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 2017428 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
    Certain motorcycles with dealer installed accessory turn signals may not comply with the requirements of canada motor vehicle safety standard (cvmss) 108 - lighting system and retroreflective devices. The size of the lens on the accessory turn signals may be too small, and therefore would not meet the requirements of the standard. This could reduce vehicle conspicuity to following and approaching road users, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the accessory turn signals with factory indicators that meet the requirements of the standard.

  • Recall 2017376 [Canada]: Other
    Certain motorcycles may not comply with the requirements of canada motor vehicle safety standard (cvmss) 108 - lighting system and retroreflective devices. The rear side reflectors on the luggage case or luggage case mounts may be partially blocked and not meet the requirements of the standard, which could reduce vehicle conspicuity to following road users, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: depending on the model, dealers will either attach a side reflector to the luggage case, or add a bracket containing a rear side reflector.
