Is it USA only?

Not sure, but it did come out on the US forum originally

Thanks for the info BBB, as I've experienced with BMW cars, US are normally the first to issue the recalls with the manufacturer, then a couple of months down the line UK/Rest of Europe follows suit.

No doubt the US Claim$ culture has a bearing on that..

Indeed, I cannot see a globally identical part only being recalled in the USA. But we're not there yet here it seems.

Yes that?s USA because the rest of the world already had theirs recalled! Mine exchanged since April.

mine are on 4500 miles and no leaks, will they swap them anyway if theres a uk recall and my bike fall in the correct dates. fingers crossed im out of the dates.

I asked the dealer about the front caliper issue with the new GSA I am getting in due course and he said that the more recent builds have the new parts that dont leak. I dont know what the cut off date was but I would hazard a guess it was earlier this year.

Leaky Calipers Recall

My RR is a 2020 build and I was advised by the dealership when I collected it that it had been fitted with revised caliper parts at the Factory. Suffice to say they have never leaked since I?ve had it nor did they whilst it was sat in the showroom for months.

Mine has been fine since I?ve had the bike, touch wood!
