What to do if your BMW R Nine T is recalled

  1. Confirm it’s yours. Recalls cover ranges of VINs, so check your VIN and confirm open recalls at NHTSA.gov.
  2. Heed any warning. A do-not-drive or park-outside recall applies until the repair is done.
  3. Call a BMW dealer with your VIN and book the repair. It’s free by law, whatever the vehicle’s age.
  4. Ask about a loaner or tow if parts are back-ordered or the vehicle isn’t safe to drive.
  5. Paid for the same fix already? Keep the receipt and ask BMW about reimbursement.
