The affected vehicles have been marked with campaign number 0000612200 in AIR.
In order to determine if a specific motorcycle is affected by this campaign, it will be necessary to verify the
vehicle VIN in AIR (Aftersales Information Research). Based on the response of the system, either proceed
with the repair or take no further action. Please note, open campaigns or vehicle stops may not appear in
DCS Warranty Vehicle Inquiry or sales systems until 24-72 hours after they are announced, therefore AIR is
always the recommended method for determining open campaigns and vehicle stops.

SITUATION
The DME sends at each engine start the downtime duration since the last time the engine was in use as a
signal to decide between cold or warm (normal) start mode.
Note: During a warm (normal) start, the catalyzer is not pre-heated due to the short engine downtime.
Due to a programming error, the calculated engine downtime duration is always 0 minutes. Therefore, the
engine will always start in warm (normal) start mode (independently of the real engine downtime duration).
In the case where the cold start mode would be required the bike used warm (normal) start mode instead,
resulting in a lack of the catalytic converter pre-heating, leading to increased emissions during the warm-up
period of the engine.
Delivery stop
The affected vehicles were placed under delivery stop STOP610023, which is lifted with the completion of
this Technical Campaign.

PROCEDURE
For vehicles that have not been delivered, the Recall must be carried out before delivery to customers.
For vehicles already retailed, Customer Relations have contacted these customers asking them to schedule
an appointment with an authorized BMW Motorrad dealer to have the recall performed.
The software version must be updated to a I level X001-24-11-530 or newer in accordance with the modelspecific repair instructions “61 00 510 – Programming vehicle control units”.
I level X001-24-11-530 will be available with ISTA version 4.51.1x.
