BMW K1 in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. BMW K1 is named on 3 American notices, 11 British, 3 European, 28 Japanese and 4 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
The British register
- DVSA recall RM/2008/049: BMW Motorrad R1200R, K1200S and K1200GT (Brake discs may become insecure)
- DVSA recall RM/2008/032: BMW Motorrad K1200S, F800ST, R1200R and 3 more (Steering damper may become defective)
- DVSA recall RM/2010/019: BMW Motorrad K1300GT, F800R, K1300S and 1 more (Engine may cut out)
The European register
The Japanese register
The Israeli register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Separation of the pads would impair brake performance. Correction: Front brake pads will be replaced with pads utilizing a different bonding method in manufacture.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a BMW: 449 in the register, and 169 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1992.
