SPRING OF 2009, THE ABS LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD OF MY TEN YEAR OLD BMW 1999 K1200 LT BEGAN FLASHING. TOOK IT TO A BMW DEALER, BMW DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS ABS MODULE FAILURE, CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO BRAKE FLUID NOT BEING CHANGED REGULARLY, AS LISTED IN OWNERS MANUAL, SAME AS HARLEY. THIS IS THE SAME DEAL HARLEY IS DEALING WITH NOW, IN 2018 THE BMW'S NEED INVESTIGATED! HOW HAS BMW GOTTEN AWAY WITHOUT DOING A RECALL AND PAYING FOR THE DEFECTIVE ABS MODULES, DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE AS HARLEY? THIS COULD KILL SOMEONE! THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY BMW, IT IS ALL OVER THE BLOGS, YOU CAN NOT EVEN FIND A USED ABS MODULE TO BUY TO REBUILD, THE ISSUE IS SO BAD. THE ABS MODULE ISSUE, WITH THE BMW'S IS SO BAD, THERE IS A COMPANY, OUT THERE, THAT HAS SET UP A REMANUFACTURING PROCESS TO REBUILD THE ABS MODULES. BMW SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO DO A RECALL AND PAY FOR THIS REPAIR, IT IS A $2,500 + FIX. THE DEALER CLAIMS IT IS DUE TO NOT CHANGING BREAK FLUID REGULARLY, DID THEY PROPERLY INFORM BIKE OWNERS OF THIS ISSUE, NO! BMW IS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS, BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT AS MANY BIKES SOLD, LESS COMPLAINTS, BUT THIS NEEDS INVESTIGATED ALSO, JUST LIKE AS HARLEY HAS BEEN REQUIRED, BMW NEEDS TO BE REQUIRED TO DO A RECALL AND PAY FOR THE FIX!
