Affects BMW R1200GS, R1200RT, R1200ST · 2004–2006 — about 654 vehicles.
The hazard
Certain motorcycles may have an incorrectly routed front Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) sensor cable. If certain service procedures are performed, for example, a front tire change which involves removal of the front left brake caliper, it is possible for the ABS sensor cable to be routed incorrectly when the caliper is reinstalled. If this happens, the sensor cable can come into contact with, and rub/chafe against, the front brake disk. Over time, if the chafing becomes severe, it is possible to lose the ABS function. Correction: Dealers will attach additional retaining clips to the ABS sensor cable.
