2019 BMW R 1250 Gs

CHECKING RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. FOUND INCIDENT REPORTS REGARDING LEAKING FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS. I CHECKED MINE. THERE IS AN OILY FILM ALL OVER ON THE RIGHT SIDE FRONT CALIPER. THERE IS AN OILY FILM ON THE INSIDE OF THE LEFT SIDE FRONT CALIPER. IT APPEARS THAT THE CASTING FOR THE CALIPERS IS POUROUS AND ALLOWS THE BRAKE FLUID TO SLOWLY SEEP OUT. THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER (WHICH I USE LESS) FELT DRY, BUT HAS STICKY BRAKE DUST ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE OUTER PART OF THE CALIPER. IF THIS LEAKAGE/SEEPAGE IS SERIOUS ENOUGH, BRAKE FLUID COULD MAKE ITS WAY TO THE PADS AND DISCS, LEADING TO DANGEROUS LOSS OF BRAKING FUNCTION. THERE IS ALSO THE PROBLEM OF SLOW LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID. I HAVE JUST A LITTLE MORE THAN 1500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, PURCHASED NEW LAST AUGUST, 2019. I HAVE NOT USED THE BRAKES HARD. ABS HAS NOT BEEN ACTIVATED, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, YET. *TR

- DRIVING BRAND NEW 2019 BMW R 1250 GS MOTORCYCLE ON WELL-MAINTAINED, RURAL, TWO-LANE ROADS IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA - UPON BRAKING WHILE APPROACHING A SLOW-SPEED RIGHT-HAND TURN, THE BRAKES LOST ALL PRESSURE (APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH IN 2ND GEAR) - THE FRONT TIRE THEN LOCKED/ RELEASED ERRATICALLY THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THE TURN - THE MOTORCYCLE 'PLOWED'/ SLID AHEAD INTO ONCOMING LANE OF TRAVEL - I FOUGHT THROUGH THE SLIDE, KEEPING THE BIKE UPRIGHT - I IMMEDIATELY PROCEEDED TO SAFE LOCATION TO CHECK BIKE AND CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE - ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE REFUSED TO TOW TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF A COMPUTER GLITCH THAT SHOWED ANOTHER DEALER BEING CLOSER, THOUGH THAT DEALER HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY CLOSED (OUT OF BUSINESS) FOR 6 MONTHS - THE FRONT BRAKES LOST FLUID/ PRESSURE - ATTACHED PHOTOS SHOW 'DARK-COLORED SLIME' ON BIKE - THIS IS BRAKE FLUID FROM THE FRONT BRAKES - THIS IS A HIGHLY PUBLICIZED, "KNOWN ISSUE" FOR 2019 MODEL YEAR BIKES FOR BMW/ OWNERS/ DEALERS FOR THE PAST YEAR, BUT BMW REFUSES TO PROPERLY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE - I EXPECT BMW TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE BRAKE CALIPERS WITH THE SAFER BREMBO SYSTEM FROM PRIOR MODEL YEARS

JUST GOT A NEW 2019 R1250 GS DEMO WITH 140 MILES ON IT, DROVE AN ADDITIONAL 200 MILES AND AFTER THE BIKE WAS PARKED FOR A FEW DAYS, I NOTICED BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING OFF THE LEFT FRONT CALIPER / FORK AND WETNESS FROM THE SEAM ON THE RIGHT FRONT CALIPER. I CALLED THE DEALER AND ALERTED THEM TO THE PROBLEM , SERVICE MAN SAYS THEY HAVE OTHER BMW R1250GS WITH THE SAME LEAKING CALIPERS. THESE NEW HAYES 2 PIECE CALIPERS ARE NOT AS GOOD COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL BREMBO MONOBLOCK CALIPERS FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. I AM PARKING THE BIKE TILL I CAN GET NEW BREMBO CALIPERS INSTALLED ON MY DIME
