The risk
A side case lid that detaches or the case contents that fall out, can create a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will repair the locking mechanism and hinges of the side cases, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 20, 2024. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
