BMW Motorrad has voluntarily issued a stop-sale order for all its Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) motorcycles in North America. The decision stems from a quality issue related to a specific material used in the evaporative system of these motorcycles. The issue is likely connected to emission equipment, and thus the recall doesn’t affect BMW’s electric models. Also, this measure is not linked to any safety concerns, and existing owners can continue riding their vehicles without hesitation.
